• Democrats are expected to probe whether the Justice Department is being used to target presidential critics after inquiries into Adam Schiff, Letitia James and Andrew Cuomo, all of whom deny wrongdoing.
• The U.S. attorney's office in Virginia had flagged evidence concerns in the Comey case before a new prosecutor was installed after the office's leader resigned under pressure.
