Republican senators introduced a bill Wednesday that would increase the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General to include alleged DOJ attorney misconduct.
The legislation — known as the Inspector General Access Act of 2018 and proposed by Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — comes at a time when the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz is expected to release a report about the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email case.
“Our federal government inspectors general do a valuable job providing the information voters and lawmakers need to hold federal government agencies accountable. Unfortunately, the Department of Justice OIG currently does not have the power to review the conduct of DOJ attorneys, an oversight which this legislation corrects,” Lee said in a joint statement with his fellow Republican co-sponsors of the bill.
