The Justice Department and FBI have missed a Wednesday deadline to provide information about the government's mysterious raid on a former FBI contractor-turned-whistleblower's home last month.
Sixteen FBI agents on Nov. 19 raided the home of Dennis Nathan Cain, who reportedly gave the Justice Department's Inspector General documents related to the Uranium One controversy and potential wrongdoing by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, whose panel has oversight of the Justice Department, penned a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Justice Department IG General Michael Horowitz, requesting information on the justification for the raid.
The FBI consistently has refused Fox News' request for comment on the whistleblower raid and the Judiciary Committee's requests.
On Thursday, an FBI spokesperson told Fox News the agency would respond only to inquiries from the entity that requested the documents - in this case, the Judiciary Committee.
Fox News has previously reported that Douglas Campbell, an FBI informant involved in the Uranium One deal, has testified to lawmakers that Moscow paid millions to American lobbying firm APCO Worldwide to influence Clinton and the Obama administration.
Flynn's team has alleged the FBI pressured him not to have a lawyer at the White House meeting, after which Flynn was charged on one count of lying to federal authorities.
