Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) have asked the Justice Department inspector general to review Attorney General William Barr’s comments over the dismissal of the intelligence community watchdog, claiming that Barr misstated the facts about the firing.

The senators sent a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz and the acting director and chief counsel of the Office of Professional Responsibility, Jeffrey Ragsdale, on April 17, to express concern about statements Barr made in a recent interview with Fox News.
