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).<ref>http://www.pogo.org/blog/2015/06/20150624-watchdog-barks-for-access-to-fbi-records.html </ref> The OIG, [[Michael Horowitz]], requested oversight and Yates responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation essentially denying the request. All of the DOJ was subject to oversight, except the National Security Division. <ref>https://t.co/b2VmsRhQ42</ref> Horowitz raised concerns that his office would be required to seek the DOJ's permission. That procedure is “inconsistent with the Inspector General Act, impairs the OIG’s independence, and fails to account for the over 20 year record of Department and [[FBI]] compliance with OIG document requests."<ref>http://www.pogo.org/blog/2015/06/20150624-watchdog-barks-for-access-to-fbi-records.html </ref>
