|Updated:
The top Department of Justice watchdog is investigating issues surrounding the classified information contained in two memos that former FBI Director James Comey leaked to his friend, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News and The Wall Street Journal.

At least two of the memos Comey sent to his friend, Daniel Richman, contained classified information, the sources say. Comey redacted parts of one memo before he handed it to his friend. The other memo was classified “confidential” after Comey was fired from the FBI.
