The House Judiciary Committee made a request for documents from the FBI months ago on several politically charged investigations and have been stymied by the bureau's obvious reluctance to comply with the request.
So Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte issued a subpoena to the bureau to hand over all documents relating to the Clinton email investigation, the potential abuse of FISA warrants, and the firing of deputy director Andrew McCabe.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has apparently grown angry over the FBI's slow-walking of documents and has called FBI Director Wray on the carpet.
Sure enough, on Tuesday, Wray issued a press release promising to double the number of people working on the document request.
As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring that the Bureau is being transparent and responsive to legitimate congressional requests.
Up until today, we have dedicated 27 FBI staff to review the records that are potentially responsive to Chairman Goodlatte's requests.
In recent days Jordan and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the House Oversight Committee's subcommittee on government operations, have been sending staff to the Justice Department to view less redacted copies of key documents in the various investigations under review.
