Dozens of FBI employees contacted journalists who reported on classified information before the 2016 presidential election, according to a new report by the Justice Department's inspector general, but the investigative office doesn't know if the FBI agents leaked the information to them.

Thursday's report comes after investigators previously determined that three senior FBI officials engaged in misconduct when they contacted reporters during the same period.
