"However, the State Department’s decision to bypass an investigation has no bearing on the inspector general, which may still choose to further examine the incident — a request that has been made by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.The agency’s watchdog, Toner noted, “will decide for itself whether it wants to look into this incident.”
The State Department’s refusal to reopen an investigation comes one day after the agency admitted that an unnamed official within the public affairs office ordered the erasure of video from a 2013 briefing that contained a damning admission from former spokeswoman Jen Psaki, whom Fox News correspondent James Rosen accused of lying about negotiations with Iran."
