Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Wednesday did not deny that federal government confidential human sources were in the crowd during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Horowitz was testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The Department of Justice watchdog testified alongside an FBI whistleblower and the president of Empower Oversight, Tristan Leavitt.
The hearing was set to focus on how the FBI has used its security clearance adjudication process to allegedly purge its ranks of conservatives and whistleblowers, and allegedly punish those with views contrary to that of FBI leadership.
Horowitz, though, testified that he had "not made such a finding."
However, Horowitz’s office is currently working on a review of the Justice Department’s actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
