Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., announced today that U.S. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will appear publicly on Dec. 11 before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Horowitz is to testify on a forthcoming report on alleged surveillance abuse during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.
Sen. Graham recently said that he expected the so-called Horowitz report within weeks.
“I appreciate all the hard work by Mr. Horowitz and his team regarding the Carter Page FISA warrant application and the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign,” Graham said in a statement. “I look forward to hearing from him. He is a good man that has served our nation well."
Horowitz was sworn in as the inspector general of the Department of Justice (DOJ) on April 16, 2012, following his confirmation by the U.S. Senate. He was previously confirmed by the Senate in 2003 to serve a six-year term as a commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Horowitz oversees a nationwide workforce of more than 450 special agents, auditors, inspectors, attorneys and support staff whose mission is to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse and misconduct in DOJ programs and personnel, and to promote economy and efficiency in department operations. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School.
