The Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into a former FBI attorney who allegedly altered a document tied to the bureau’s surveillance of a Trump campaign associate, according to reports by CNN, The Washington Post, and The Associated Press.

The finding is expected to be part of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the investigation into a Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act (FISA) warrant the FBI obtained to spy on Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Horowitz is expected to release the report on Dec. 9 and is scheduled to testify about it before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Dec. 11.
