On November 3, 2017, Chairman Goodlatte, Chairman Gowdy, and four Members of Congress, sent a letter to Attorney General Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein requesting documents related to certain prosecutorial and investigative decisions the Department of Justice’s made during the 2016 election. On December 12, 2017, Chairman Goodlatte, Chairman Gowdy, and other members sent a letter in furtherance of their previous document requests, urging the Department to provide withheld documents, and to comply with the Committees’ previous instructions to provide a privilege log for documents withheld or redacted on the basis of a privilege. Mr. Rosenstein and the Department of Justice have refused to provide a privilege log for these documents, despite producing documents to Congress that are so redacted they contain little probative information. On February 1, 2018, Chairman Goodlatte sent a letter requesting documents related to alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ( FISA ) related to members of the Trump campaign. As Deputy Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Rosenstein is to act on behalf of the Attorney General for purposes of authorizing searches and electronic surveillance under the FISA. On March 22, 2018, Chairman Goodlatte issued a subpoena compelling Mr. Rosenstein and the Department of Justice to produce documents after the Department failed to fully comply with the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s document requests. In requesting documents related to alleged abuses of FISA related to members of the Trump campaign, the subpoena requested: (1) All documents and communications with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ( FISC ) referring or relating to any Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ( FISA ) applications associated with Carter Page or individuals on President Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign or part of the Trump administration. (2) All documents and communications referring or relating to FISC hearings
