Inspector General Michael Horowitz said his office is looking into any influence the political bias of FBI official Peter Strzok may have had on the launching of the investigation of Russian meddling into the 2016 election.

The investigation led to a large spying operation against the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump. It has turned up evidence that Russia tried to influence the election, but no evidence that this effort was coordinated with the Trump campaign.
