“The State Department’s Inspector General is expected to brief staffers from several House and Senate committees on Wednesday afternoon about documents obtained from the department’s Office of the Legal Adviser concerning documents related to the State Department and Ukraine,” ABC News reports.

“The unusual nature and timing – during a congressional recess – of the briefing suggest it may be connected to a recent intelligence community whistleblower allegation.”

Hope something gets leaked after the meeting tomorrow afternoon or before if it looks like Pompeo is going to interfere.

The inspector general is the department's internal investigator and watchdog, and the office generally operates independently of the department's political leadership.
