Senior counsel for the House Intelligence Committee earlier this month urged Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., to pursue contempt of Congress citations against the FBI and Justice Department for failing to turn over key documents and an FBI witness in the probe over whether the Obama White House used the unsubstantiated “Trump Dossier” to surveil Trump associates, Fox News Channel reports.
“After eight months of ongoing verbal, written and subpoenaed requests — and engagement by Committee and House leadership at the highest levels — DOJ, FBI continues to impede the Committee’s legitimate investigative efforts and hinders the Committee’s ability to conduct oversight,” wrote Kash Patel in the internal memo obtained by Fox News.
“Staff therefore recommends further congressional compliance actions,” the memo continued. Sources told Fox News the latter phrase was code for contempt citation, Fox News’ James Rosen reported Wednesday on “Special Report.”
