Former FBI Director James Comey was forwarding emails from his secure FBI email account to a private Gmail account, which he was using to conduct some of his FBI work.

This was among the numerous cases highlighted in the inspector general report released on June 14, which detailed how top officials in the FBI and Justice Department violated policies to ensure transparency and prevent abuse.
