Fox News host Sean Hannity said Attorney General William Barr may already have the Justice Department inspector general report on the investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses.
“Sources are telling me it may now have already been handed to the attorney general,” Hannity said on his Monday evening show.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz has not made any public statements about the investigation in months, but Barr said he expected Horowitz to complete the inquiry in late May or early June.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
Horowitz began his investigation in March 2018, examining the Justice Department’s and FBI’s compliance with legal requirements as well as policies and procedures in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court related to onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page as part of a larger counterintelligence investigation into President Trump’s campaign.
Last month Hannity said his sources told him the inspector general investigation was “done and it’s devastating.”
At the time, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said the people “likely” in legal jeopardy are former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI General Counsel James Baker, former FBI special agent Peter Strzok, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, “maybe” former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and “certainly” Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
Barr has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham with reviewing the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s campaign and after Horowitz’s report is released could determine whether to prosecute any of the people mentioned in it for breaking the law.
