In a recent televised interview, a former senior government official voiced strong criticism of past actions by federal investigative leadership, alleging improper handling of high-profile cases during the months leading up to the 2016 election.
The former official claimed that a prominent federal agency leader acted unilaterally in decisions related to a sensitive investigation, bypassing established legal procedures.
He argued that decisions regarding the case should have been made by the Department of Justice rather than by the agency’s director alone.
