Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses may be covered in redactions when it is released.

Former Republican Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, now a Fox News contributor, said this week that this report, eagerly anticipated by Republican allies of President Trump, could be more heavily concealed than previous reports from the DOJ watchdog.

“Evidently, there’s an intra-agency debate and really a food fight if you will about the classification issues,” Chaffetz said on Sean Hannity's show on Monday. “Remember in the last report put out by Horowitz, there were only seven words or so that were redacted. The Democrats threw a fit that they couldn’t see the whole thing. This could have 10-20% of the report redacted.”

Chaffetz also said he has not seen any evidence to suggest FBI Director Christopher Wray has been "cooperative" and speculated that former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper may be involved in "behind-the-scenes fighting" as they are also "fighting" to defend themselves on TV.
