Letter to the Hon. Rod J. Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General, and Andrew McCabe, Acting Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Briefing Request

Letter

Dear Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Acting Director McCabe:

On Wednesday, May 3, 2017, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing titled, Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. At the hearing, there were several matters discussed that require follow-up briefings for the Committee that the former Director committed the Bureau to providing.

In addition, on March 15, 2017, both of us received a briefing from former FBI Director Comey about the FBI's investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election. We request that Mr. Rosenstein and/or Mr. McCabe, along with others who have firsthand knowledge of that briefing, provide a similar briefing to the rest of the Committee. Reportedly, the Select Committee on Intelligence received a briefing from Mr. Rosenstein on this yesterday. As the oversight committee of the FBI, it is important that the members of this Committee receive the same information.

Please contact Patrick Davis of Chairman Grassley's Committee staff at (202) 224-5225 and Heather Sawyer of Ranking Member Feinstein's staff at (202) 224-7703 by 5:00 p.m. today to schedule the briefings. Thank you for your immediate attention to these important matters.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Grassley Dianne Feinstein

Chairman Ranking Member

Committee on the Judiciary Committee on the Judiciary
