(Worthy News) – Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein fended off feisty House Republicans at a Thursday committee hearing, amid the passage of a resolution that puts on the record a demand for a handful of Justice Department documents.
The hearing was a means for the House Judiciary Committee to question Rosenstein about the recent Justice Department’s inspector general report on the FBI’s investigations during the 2016 election — but GOP lawmakers seized the opportunity to chastise the department’s No. 2 for being slow to turn over subpoenaed documents.
In his opening statement, committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said the panel’s “oversight has been hampered by both the FBI and DOJ’s lack of consistent and vigorous production of the documents we need to hold the agencies accountable.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
