The pressure is growing on the Russia investigation. The White House announced that Justice Department and FBI officials are going to meet with congressional leaders. They, therefore, plan to review classified information that lawmakers are seeking on the probe’s handling.
This situation was brought up because of President Trump’s unusual demand. So, the Justice Department will investigate whether the FBI had any influence on his presidential campaign. However, we do not know if the Justice Department is going to provide any documents to Congress. Also, we do not know what the members of the meeting will be allowed to review.
Steps Taken
Sarah Huckabee Sanders and John Kelly will organize the meeting. Sanders is the White House Press Secretary. Kelly is Trump’s chief of staff. The meeting will involve the FBI, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Justice Department, and congressional leaders. Sanders stated that the officials are going to review very classified information. But she did not provide any details about what they will see.
