Newly released text messages and documents obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee reveal that senior members of the FBI and Department of Justice led a coordinated effort to leak unverified information to the press regarding alleged collusion with Russia to damage President Donald Trump's administration, according to a letter sent by the committee to the DOJ Monday.
READ: Letter from MRM to DAG Rosensteino DOJ. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, sent the letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein saying a "Review of the new documents raises grave concerns regarding an apparent systemic culture of media leaking by high-ranking officials at the FBI and DOJ related to ongoing investigations."
The review of the documents suggests that the FBI and DOJ coordinated efforts to get information to the press that would potentially be "Harmful to President Trump's administration." Those leaks pertained to information regarding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant used to spy on short-term campaign volunteer Carter Page.

Meadows, who is also Chairman of the Freedom Caucus, is also demanding that the DOJ turn over more emails and text messages of other senior DOJ and FBI officials.
"In light of the new information, our task force is requesting to review text messages, emails, and written communication form FBI and DOJ officials Stu Evans, Mike Kortan, and Joe Pientka between June 2016 to June 2017," said Meadows in the letter.
The FBI has not granted the committee's permission to subpoena Pientka, who was the only other FBI agent to interview Flynn.
