Schumer asks for probe into Whitaker’s White House contacts
By MICHAEL BALSAMO26 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate’s top Democrat asked the Justice Department’s watchdog on Tuesday to open an investigation into communications between acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and the White House.

Sen. Charles Schumer wants the Justice Department’s inspector general to look into Whitaker’s communications beginning in 2017, when Whitaker was appointed chief of staff to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Whitaker was elevated to the top job after Sessions was ousted by President Donald Trump earlier this month.

In a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Schumer, D-N.Y., said he wants inspector general’s investigators to look into whether Whitaker had access to confidential grand jury information in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. Schumer also wants investigators to examine whether Whitaker shared any information with Trump or others in the administration.

John Lavinsky, a spokesman for the inspector general, declined to comment on Schumer’s request.

As with the Mueller investigation, this is too targeted. We need to include communications between the Obama Whitehouse and DOJ.
