Specifically, the Inspector General examined whether the FBI used the USA PATRIOT Act in conjunction with the investigation of Mayfield, whether the FBI targeted Mayfield because of his Muslim religion, and whether the FBI's representations to the United States District court in support of the requests for a material witness warrant and search warrants were accurate. In addition, the conditions of Mayfield's confinement and whether the conditions were consistent with the material witness statute were also examined.
