The long-awaited watchdog report on the Justice Department's handling of the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot is expected to be delayed until after the presidential election in November, according to Inspector General Michael Horowitz. During testimony to the GOP-led House subcommittee, Horowitz mentioned that a draft of the report is not yet ready for release and it is unlikely to be completed in time for the election.
Horowitz expressed hope that the report would be finalized before the presidential inauguration on January 20. However, he noted that the final version would need to undergo a thorough classification review process, which could further delay its release.
