The U.S. Justice Department’s inspector general opened an investigation into whether the FBI followed appropriate procedures in its probe of Hillary Clinton’s use of private e-mail while serving as secretary of state, reopening one of the most contested developments of the 2016 election campaign.
That review includes a look at the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s actions leading up to Director James Comey’s decision to announce findings of his probe on July 5, when he publicly said that Clinton and her top aides were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information" but no charges should be pursued.
It also includes a review of actions leading to Comey’s later announcements that he was re-opening and then again closing the probe, both made days before the Nov. 8 election.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced the investigation in a statement Thursday.
