The House Intel Committee Just Subpoenaed The FBI And DOJ Over Trump Dossier
Investigators honing in on Christopher Steele dossier.
The House Intelligence Committee has issued subpoenas to the FBI and Department of Justice for documents about now infamous Trump dossier which linked Donald Trump to the Russian election attack.
The committee issued the two subpoenas, one to each agency, on August 24. The subpoenas demand that both agencies hand over any documents containing information about the dossier, the FBI’s relationship with the author Christopher Steele and whether the FBI had supported an opposition research project against Trump in the last months of the 2016 election, according to a report by The Washington Examiner Tuesday.
In addition, the House committee also issued subpoenas Tuesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appear before the committee to answer questions about why they hadn’t handed over documents.
The subpoenas originally set September 1 as the deadline for handing over documents but both agencies missed the deadline so the committee extended the deadline to September 14.
The dossier, which drew criticism when it was published for being unsubstantiated, has increasingly been found to have accurate information.
