Washington (CNN) Attorney General Jeff Sessions is not naming a new special counsel to investigate Republican-driven accusations against the FBI -- at least for now. Sessions also said he will rely on Huber's review to determine if a special counsel is needed down the line. "[T]he public interest requires the appointment of a special counsel." Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. "For instance, the IG's office does not have authority to compel witness interviews, including from past employees, so its investigation will be limited in scope in comparison to a Special Counsel investigation," Goodlatte said in a statement.
