The private memos of former FBI Director James Comey were provided to the Department of Justice’s Inspector General by a whistleblower who was concerned that the documents were sensitive and should be kept separately for safekeeping, according to the inspector general’s bombshell report published Thursday.
The report outlines how Comey kept copies of four memos out of the seven he drafted in a personal safe at home after his removal as director – a violation of FBI policies – and says that he provided copies of those four memos to his attorneys. It also details how the memos came into the possession of the department’s official watchdog.
