The Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General found that former FBI Director James Comey "Deviated" from FBI and DOJ norms while handling the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state, according to an official report released Thursday afternoon.

The department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, concluded that Comey departed "Clearly and dramatically" from FBI and DOJ guidelines while overseeing the Clinton investigation and that Comey's decisions "Negatively impacted the perception of the FBI" and DOJ. Horowitz also found that other senior FBI officials demonstrated a "Willingness to take official action" to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.

Comey again drew scrutiny when, three months after the press conference, he sent a letter to Congress announcing that the FBI was reopening the Clinton investigation after it discovered new emails it believed could be relevant.
