The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday announced key reforms designed to further enhance compliance and oversight at the FBI.
The reforms come in the form of two memoranda issued by Attorney General William Barr, in consultation with FBI Director Christopher Wray. The first memorandum “makes significant improvements to the FBI’s internal compliance program,” Barr said. Specifically, it requires the FBI to develop “compliance and oversight mechanisms, training, and internal controls to ensure the FBI’s compliance with applicable statutes, policies, procedures, and court orders that govern the FBI’s national security activities,” according to the memo.
