Nunes blasts DOJ, FBI for 'failure' to produce records relating to anti-Trump dossier
John Roberts
By John Roberts, Alex Pappas | Fox News
Exclusive - House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is blasting the Department of Justice and the FBI for its “failure to fully produce†documents related to an anti-Trump dossier, saying “at this point it seems the DOJ and FBI need to be investigating themselves.â€
In a Thursday letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein obtained by Fox News, Nunes expressed frustration that information and witnesses subpoenaed by the committee in August related to the so-called Steele dossier had not yet been turned over. The salacious dossier includes unverified allegations about President Trump's connections with Russia that he has denied.
“Unfortunately, DOJ/FBI's intransigence with respect to the August 24 subpoenas is part of a broader pattern of behavior that can no longer be tolerated,†the California Republican wrote to Rosenstein.
Nunes demanded that all records – and available dates for witnesses to testify – be provided to the committee by Jan 3.

Related topic, which I probably should have posted here in Politics instead of Current Events.

This is a vey knotty problem. How does the house vote to cut the budgets of the DOJ, FBI, and our intelligence agencies? This one is going to have to be dealt with by the president I'm afraid.
