Two of President Trump's most fervent House allies are calling on the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairman to schedule a hearing promptly with Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the day after Horowitz released a scathing report about former FBI Director James Comey violating the bureau's policies.
Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the Oversight committee, and committee member Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) asked Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Friday to schedule a hearing with Horowitz to discuss his report's findings.
“In light of the great costs to our country stemming from Comey’s reckless conduct, we respectfully request that you immediately schedule a hearing with Inspector General Horowitz to examine the OIG [Office of Inspector General] report about Comey’s misconduct," they write in a letter released Friday.
