Horowitz lays out next steps in FISA report process: 'We want to make as much of this public' as possible

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz promised to make as much of his investigation into the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, finished last week, as public as possible.

Horowitz appeared in front of the Democrat-led House Oversight Committee on Wednesday along with a couple other inspectors general and laid out details about the next steps for his report on alleged FISA abuse by the DOJ and the FBI, telling the congressmen that he’d handed over a draft of his factual findings to Attorney General William Barr last week and that the process of review and classification was now just beginning, and could take a while.

Horowitz’s investigative team reviewed more than a million records and conducted more than 100 interviews, and much of it was likely connected to classified matters connected to the Trump-Russia investigation and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Rep. Jody Hice, a Republican from Georgia, said he knew that Trump “wants as much as possible to be known to the public.”
