Investigation into alleged FBI leaks to Giuliani during 2016 campaign is ongoing, DOJ watchdog says
The Department of Justice inspector general's office is still investigating alleged leaks from the FBI's New York field office regarding the Hillary Clinton email investigation to Rudy Giuliani in the final days of the 2016 campaign, the IG testified Wednesday.
"We were very concerned about that" and have been actively investigating alleged leaks to Giuliani and others, Michael Horowitz said in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. "This continues to this day. We are investigating those contacts."
Two days before then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was reopening an investigation into Clinton's email practices as secretary of state, Giuliani, then a surrogate for President Donald Trump's campaign, said help was on the way for his candidate.
"I think he's got a surprise or two that you're going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, I'm talking about some pretty big surprises," the former U.S. Attorney told Fox News.
I think Rudy has a surprise or two coming his way in the future.
The IG investigation is not the only federal probe involving the former New York City mayor. Prosecutors from the office Giuliani used to head in the Southern District of New York are reportedly investigating his financial dealings.
