On Wednesday night, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all neglected to cover the latest problem facing likely Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as a report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General (IG) found that a senior DHS official assisted Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham and Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe (Va.) in obtaining visas for their foreign business associates.

According to the report, Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gave “an appearance of favoritism and special access” while he led U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and “communicated with” those seeking the approval of visas “outside of the normal adjudicatory process and intervened with the career USCIS staff in ways that benefitted the stakeholders.”
