Lamborn Comments on DOJ Inspector General's Report

Washington D.C. -Today, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a comprehensive report on the Hillary Clinton email investigation. It examines the role and potential bias of Justice Department and FBI throughout the process of the investigation. Former FBI Director James Comey "defied authority" according to the report and acted insubordinately before the 2016 election. Both the DOJ and FBI stonewalled the proper procedure for investigations.

Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) issued the following statement:

"The report shows top officials at the FBI mishandled information and made key decisions based on their political bias. It is unfortunate and disturbing that bias motivated the nation's top law enforcement agency. Moreover, it has only become clearer with time that former Director Comey clearly violated policy and damaged the investigation's credibility. His behavior exhibited a pattern of unprofessionalism and misconduct. This fully validates President Trump's decision to fire him. The nation should have full trust in the FBI but instead Comey and company embroiled it in political controversy."
