(Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Friday the Justice Department would confront any problems uncovered by an inspector general’s report that found former FBI Director James Comey made errors in judgment handling the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

“We’re not going to be defensive, we’re going to confront any problems and we’re going to deal with them one by one in a proper, fair and appropriate way,” he said during a speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
