Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said he thinks he’s identified two FBI employees whose names were masked in the recent report by the Office of the Inspector General (IG), a Justice Department watchdog.

The employees, identified by the IG as FBI Attorney 1 and FBI Attorney 2, played important roles in investigations concerning both presidential frontrunners during the leadup to the 2016 election. One has been criticized in the IG report for anti-Trump bias, while the other, based on the report, was key in the month-delayed reopening of the Clinton investigation right before the election.
