"We understand that the Department is not above criticism and it can never be that the Department conceals errors when they occur," Sessions wrote in a statement.
"I am confident that Mr. Huber's review will include a full, complete and objective evaluation of these matters in a manner that is consistent with the law and facts," said Sessions, who explained Huber regularly updating him “and upon the conclusion of his review, will receive his recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit the appointment of a special counsel."
The move was met favorably by some GOP lawmakers, including House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who, in a statement, called it “a step in the right direction” and praised Sessions “for demonstrating his commitment to this investigation by selecting an individual outside of Washington, DC to lead the review."
