The Justice Department’s inspector general has delayed upcoming testimony about the Hillary Clinton email investigation amid reports he is pursuing new information regarding the handling of the case.
Fox News reported that Inspector General Michael Horowitz “has pursued new leads” and will not be appearing before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday as planned.
The investigation that started in January uncovered “potentially important additional information and documents that recently came to our attention,” Horowitz wrote last month, according to Fox News, adding that, “my expectation is that we will issue our report in May, absent any new developments.”

Horowitz told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley last month that his report on the investigation was taking longer than expected.
“It is of the utmost importance that your review be as fulsome, complete and unimpeded as possible,” Gowdy wrote, according to Fox News. Gowdy said in the letter that he wants Horowitz to appear “as close to the day the report is finalized as is practicable” and noted that “the representations” Horowitz made in an April 23 letter are the reason for the delay.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Friday that Horowitz will complete his work soon.
“Within the next few weeks, I anticipate that our inspector general will complete a comprehensive, fair and nonpartisan report that answers many questions about how the Department of Justice handled a high-profile investigation during the last presidential campaign,” Rosenstein said. “We will learn from it, and our department will do better in the future.”
Expectations are high that Horowitz’s report will be a bombshell.
The report will be highly critical of former FBI Director James Comey, Time reported.
Citing sources it did not name, Time said Comey will be criticized for his July 2016 press event when he cleared Clinton of criminal activity while criticizing her actions.
Rosenstein says they will learn from it... sounds like a crook.
This gives more time for the the IG to “commit suicide” or have an accident “under mysterious circumstances”.
I don't care, I don't care! You're banished. I'm getting a new tucker-inner! Banished, banished, banished!
Maybe Rosenstein's been rethinking what side he's on... new information could turn him toward us - toward Trump... away from deep corruption.
Please let a conservative buy that house and dig up whatever she buried in the pool.
I’m getting a new tucker-inner!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. It’s from “The Great Race.” Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon, Natelie Wood.
The Clinton’s walking away from a way to make money?!? I want some of what you’re smoking!! ;-)
