One month after [[Donald Trump]] announced his intention to seek the presidency in 2015, Yates blocked the Office of Inspector General (OIG) from having oversight of the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). The OIG, [[Michael Horowitz]], requested oversight and Yates responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation essentially denying the request.
