Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham wants Attorney General William Barr to declassify nine sets of documents from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s upcoming report on potential abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
“In order for the Inspector General to be able to present the most complete results of his investigation to Congress and the American people, certain documents will need to be declassified and released to the public,†Graham wrote in a newly released letter.
The DOJ and FBI made extensive use of an unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who made salacious allegations regarding Trump and Russia, in their requests for warrants targeting Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Steele compiled his research in 2016 at the behest of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired by Clinton’s campaign through the Perkins Coie law firm.
