Deputy Attorney General
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, D.C. 20530

Dear Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein:

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (the "Committee") issued a subpoena to
the Department of Justice (DOJ) on April 30, 2018, requesting specific documents related to the
Committee's ongoing investigation into the alleged misuse of FISA authorities by DOJ and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. DOJ has failed to comply with this subpoena and is willfully
disregarding a lawful demand from Congress to review documents pertinent and relevant to its
constitutional oversight of the Executive Branch.

Rather than simply providing the Committee's Members and designated staff the opportunity to
review the subpoenaed documents, DOJ continues to obfuscate and delay its production using an
array of tactics, such as incorrectly categorizing the requested documents as Gang-of-Eight-level
material in order to limit access. Such conduct by DOJ is unacceptable because the Gang-of­
Eight is a legal fiction that has no basis outside of the confines of Presidential approval and
reporting of covert actions. Your continued refusal to permit Members of Congress and
designated staff to review the requested documents is obstruction of a lawful Congressional
investigation.

I will not relent in my duties on behalf of the American public to discover all the facts in this
matter. Accordingly, I request that DOJ provide all Committee Members and designated staff
full, unredacted access to all the documents requested in the April 30, 2018, subpoena by
Tuesday, June 12, 2018. Any response falling short of this request will be considered an effort to
conceal material information from Congress-a dangerous precedent that threatens the core of
our democracy.
