A group of lawmakers are objecting to what they describe as the politicizing of two ongoing reviews by government watchdogs of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s email practices.

Four Democratic senators and three House members on Thursday have sent a letter to Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough and State Department Inspector General Steve Linick. The inspectors general are conducting separate reviews of whether then-Secretary of State Clinton and her top aides mishandled sensitive information in emails that passed through a private server in her New York home.

The Democrats say the investigations should be impartial and have chided the inspectors general for past reporting errors.

Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Dianne Feinstein of California and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Patrick Leahy of Vermont are among those who signed.
