3:31 am
>> reporter: the report criticizes former fbi director james comey for being insubordinate and bypassing his boss, attorney general loretta lynch, in his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. but concludes that the clinton investigation was not tainted by political bias. >> we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. >> reporter: the report says, "we find it extraordinary that comby engaged in his own subjective ad hoc decision-making" and concludes that "while comey was not politically biased his decision-making negatively impacted the perception of the fbi and the department of justice as fair administrators of justice." comey told "cbs this morning" he faced an krimpossible choice afr new clinton e-mails were discovered on a laptop belonging to anthony weiner. comey informed congress of the new evidence, which leaked out days before the 2016 election. >> there were no good options. >> reporter: the inspector

general rejected this characterization as a false dichotomy and said "the two doors were actually labeled follow policy and practice and depart from policy and practice." comby declined to comment today when approached in minneapolis. >> i'm not going to say anything. >> reporter: the report also suggests fbi agent peter strzok, who led both the clinton and russia investigations may have acted improperly. during its investigation the inspector general uncovered text messages strzok exchanged with top fbi lawyer lisa page. in august 2016 page texted strzok, asking "he, trump, is not ever going to become president, right? right?" strzok replied, "no. no, he stop it." late this afternoon the current fbi director, christopher wray, reacted to the inspector general's report. >> the report does identify errors of judgment, violations of or even disregard for policy,

attorney general barbara underwood says benefited mr. trump's own interests, an illegal practice known as self-dealing. there was the $100,000 payment to fisher house foundation to settle legal claims against mr. trump's mar-a-lago resort. and the $10,000 of trump foundation money the suit says mr. trump used to buy a pangt of himself. >> everyone's going to get a lot of money. >> reporter: and the a.g. pointed to this campaign event in iowa in january 2016. candidate trump skipping a republican debate raised millions of dollars for veterans instead. but after the event the lawsuit says campaign staff, not the trump foundation, dictated how the funds were disbursed, amounting to illegal coordination between a campaign and non-profit. the president fired back on twitt twitter, saying "the sleazy new york democrats" are suing him "on a foundation that gave out to charity more money than it took in."

3:37 am
they killed our son. >> reporter: the piazza family attorney said in a statement, "the parents of tim piazza are pleased to see the first beta brother accept responsibility for his actions and encourage others who also contributed to tim's death to follow in his footsteps." burke decided to submit an open plea, meaning he pleaded guilty without knowing his possible sentence. and for the first time we could hear from burke during his sentencing hearing on july 31st. burke faces fines of up to a year in jail for each of the four counts of hazing. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
