Excerpts from article:
...Senate Democrats are asking the Justice Department's top watchdog to expand its investigation into , Trump's personal lawyer, to include contacts with DOJ officials.
...Ten Democrats sent a letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz asking that an ongoing probe into Giuliani's contacts with FBI officials include if he had "improper communications" with senior DOJ officials.
..."We are concerned that Mr. Giuliani's interactions with senior DOJ officials may have unduly influenced or created conflicts of interests with regard to DOJ activities. At a minimum, Mr. Giuliani's access creates an appearance of impropriety that could undermine trust in the agency," they wrote in the letter to Horowitz.
...The Democratic senators also included multiple reports referencing Giuliani's contacts with DOJ officials as part of an appendix to their letter to Horowitz.
...Giuliani, according to Reuters, urged DOJ officials to "go easy" on a Venezuelan businessman, though Giuliani declined to confirm that the meeting took place or whether the businessman was a client.
