(CNSNews.com) - Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) said he met with Justice Department Inspector-General Michael Horowitz last week to discuss the status of the IG's report on alleged FISA abuse by the FBI.

"We talked about his report, the timing of his report, not the content," Ratcliffe told Fox News Monday night.

"And he related that his team's investigative work is complete, and they're now in the process of drafting that report. So I would expect that a draft of that will be completed in short order. I will tell you though, I don't expect that any of us are going to see any time real soon.

"He did relate that as much as 20 percent of his report is probably going to include classified information, so that draft report will have to undergo a classification review at the FBI and at the Department of Justice. So, while I am hopeful that we might see it before members of Congress recess for the August recess, I'm not too certain about that," Ratcliffe said.

Horowitz announced in March 2018 that his office would examine the Justice Department's and the FBI's compliance with legal requirements and policies in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to surveil Carter Page, who was then a Trump campaign adviser.

Two months ago, Attorney General William Barr launched a second investigation, asking U.S. Attorney John Durham to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Rep. Ratcliffe said he thinks the Horowitz and Durham investigations will produce "significant" results.
