CBS News has confirmed that Horowitz reviewed records — including notes and witness interviews — among other documents for evidence of edits and or other alterations.Those findings have been forwarded to U.S. Attorney John Durham, who has been asked by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the FBI probe into the Trump campaign. Durham's probe is now a criminal investigation.
