<P> On January 12, 2017, the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General announced a formal investigation into whether the FBI followed proper procedures in its investigation of Clinton or whether "improper considerations" were made by FBI personnel . </P> <P> On July 27, 2017, the House Judiciary Committee decided to request documents related to Comey, including the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton, Comey's conduct during the 2016 election, and his release of his memo to the press . The committee's Republicans also wrote a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking him to appoint a second special prosecutor to investigate these issues . </P> <P> In September 2017, two Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham, alleged that Comey planned to exonerate Hillary Clinton in her email scandal long before the agency had completed its investigation . The story was confirmed by the FBI in October, which released a Comey memo dated May 2 . Comey interviewed Clinton as part of his investigation on July 2 . Former FBI official Ron Hosko reacted saying, "You tend to reach final conclusions as the investigation is logically ended . Not months before ." Donald Trump called it "disgraceful ." In contrast, former Department of Justice spokesman Matthew Miller wrote on Twitter, "The decision is never' made' until the end, even when there's a 99% chance it is only going to go one way ." </P> <P> Comey's original draft of the exoneration stated that Clinton had committed "gross negligence," which is a crime . However, the language was later changed to "extreme carelessness ." In December, it was revealed that the change had been made by Peter Strozk, an FBI official who would later join Mueller's probe and be dismissed after exchanging private messages with an FBI lawyer that could be seen as favoring Clinton politically . </P>
