IG refers FBI, Justice officials for criminal prosecution

State Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has found "Reasonable grounds" for believing the FBI and the Justice Department violated federal criminal law in their handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, according to investigative reporter Paul Sperry.

Horowitz, who informed members of Congress Wednesday that his draft report has been completed, has referred his findings to John W. Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, for possible criminal prosecution, Sperry said.

Sperry reported the leaks from Horowitz' upcoming report in a series of tweets.

BREAKING: IG Horowitz has found "Reasonable grounds" for believing there has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI/DOJ's handling of the Clinton investigation/s and has referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for possible criminal prosecution.

"Additionally, consistent with our usual process, we have asked the Department and FBI to provide us with any comments they wish us to consider regarding the report's accuracy and completeness," Horowitz wrote in his letter to lawmakers.

For more than a year, Horowitz has been examining allegations such as whether or not it was improper for Comey to make a public announcement about the FBI's decision not to refers charges to the Justice Department in the Clinton investigation.

"We will update you on the specific timing for the report's release, and I will be prepared to provide a briefing and testify publicly about our findings and conclusions as soon as the report is released," Horowitz said.
