DOJ delivers Russia probe documents to Congress
The Hill, Jun 24, 2018, Brett Samuels

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has given additional classified documents related to the Russia investigation to House Republicans, some of whom said the materials are insufficient.

A spokeswoman for Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told The Associated Press that officials provided more than 1,000 documents related to the origin of the FBI’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

AshLee Strong told the news service that the DOJ will receive additional time to provide other outstanding documents requested by House Republicans.

Additionally, the DOJ wrote to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Friday notifying him that it had sent a classified letter to his committee about whether the FBI used “confidential human sources” before formally starting the Russia investigation, according to the AP.

Mark Meadows says Justice Dept. turned over only 'small percentage' of subpoenaed Russia documents
Washington Times, Jun 24, 2018, Jeff Mordock

A conservative lawmaker late Saturday challenged media reports that the Department of Justice gave members of Congress documents related to the probe of Russian eletion meddling.

Late Saturday, the Associated Press reported the Justice Department this week turned over some of the documents related to the Russia investigation.

But Rep. Mark Meadows, North Carolina Republican, called the report was “not accurate” and said the department provided merely a fraction of what lawmakers subpoenaed.

“New reports of DOJ/FBI compliance with document requests are NOT accurate. While they have turned over additional documents, the new documents represent a small percentage of what they owe,” Mr. Meadows Tweeted.

“The notion that DOJ/FBI have been forthcoming with Congress is false,” he continued.
