The Justice Department informed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan it won’t give access to most of the information he has requested.
The Justice Department on Monday informed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan it won’t give his panel access to most of the information he has requested on the investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. sent to Jordan and Rep. Mike Johnson , Assistant Attorney General Carlos Felipe Uriarte cites numerous special rules governing special counsel investigations that prevent the DOJ from releasing such information.
“Disclosures to Congress about active investigations risk jeopardizing those investigations and creating the appearance that Congress may be exerting improper political pressure or attempting to influence Department decisions in certain cases. Judgments about whether and how to pursue a matter are, and must remain, the exclusive responsibility of the Department,” the DOJ letter continues.
Earlier this month, Jordan demanded that the DOJ produce documents related to the appointment of Robert Hur as special counsel in the 80-year-old president’s classified documents probe. The House Judiciary Committee leader also sought information on the selection of Trump-appointed Attorney John Lausch to conduct the initial review of the case and all documents between or among the DOJ, the FBI, and the White House related to classified records found at the Penn Biden Center and at Biden’s home.
