Watch Live: Inspector General Michael Horowitz Testifies After FISA Report Release

Following Monday’s release of the long-awaited FISA report on FBI abuses while investigating the Trump campaign, during the 2016 US election, Inspector General Michael Horowitz is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Watch:

Horowitz’s report found “significant inaccuracies and omissions,” yet despite the fact that the FBI’s elite made numerous errors and harbored extreme animus against Donald Trump, none of that affected their investigation.

Horowitz’s findings have caused a high-profile split within the Department of Justice, with Attorney General William Barr and his hand-picked prosecutor, John Durham, both issuing statements disagreeing with Horowitz’s conclusions. 

In an interview with NBC which aired on Tuesday, Barr said ” [T]hese irregularities, these misstatements, these omissions were not satisfactorily explained,” adding “I think that leaves open the possibility to infer bad faith.”
