HILL: It looks like President Trump's vow to investigate the investigators is alive and well. Justice Department prosecutors are investigating a 2017 media leak tied to the FBI's Hillary Clinton e- mail probe, and it could involve former FBI director James Comey, one of the president's loudest critics. CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez joins me now with more. So, Evan, what more do we know about the timing of all of this?</s>EVAN PEREZ, CNN SENIOR JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Well, Erica, the fact is, as you said, this is now more than two years after this alleged leak to the media that the FBI is now investigating this. U.S. attorney's office here in Washington has now spoken to some witnesses about it, and so that's raising the question, at least among some of the critics of the department, as to whether or not this is really about going after someone who, as you said, has been a vocal critic of the president, James Comey. He was cleared in another investigation by the Justice Department looking into whether he leaked classified information related to the Russia investigation. That ended last year. This is looking into some classified information that had to do with the Clinton e-mail investigation, and again, just the fact that this is happening two years after the fact is what's raising some concern about what's at play here.</s>HILL: It is fascinating in all of it, and in terms of those concerns. I would imagine this will not be last time, Evan, we're talking about them either.</s>PEREZ: Right, exactly, and look, I mean, Comey is very vocal and out there raising questions about Bill Barr, the Justice Department, raising questions about the president, and so, again, the idea that you'd be doing a leak investigation -- again, we don't know exactly who's the target of this investigation, but certainly because Comey played a role in all of this, you can see that that's where this is possibly going to go.</s>HILL: All right. We'll continue watching that. I know you will, Evan. Thank you.</s>PEREZ: Thanks.</s>HILL: President Trump announcing his new legal team and chances are you will recognize some of their names and their faces.
