The DOJ Inspector General’s report on FISA abuse is expected to be released early next month, but the New York Times previously reported that the IG would “criticize FBI officials but absolve leaders of acting out of anti-Trump bias.”
Today, the Times has a follow-up story that addresses allegations that the FBI put a spy inside the Trump campaign:
