The House Intelligence Committee should subpoena the FBI and the Department of Justice if top officials at the agencies refuse to hand over materials on the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump, the top Republican on the House panel said on Aug. 12.
Republicans on the committee, led by Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio), asked the bureau and its parent agency, the department, to share the search warrant FBI agents executed at Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, as well as supporting materials like the affidavit outlining the reason for the raid.
But the agencies have not yet complied with the request, Turner told reporters in Washington.
“We are requesting that the chairman of the committee support our request for the disclosure of this information to our committee and we are requesting that it be backed up if they do not comply with our request, by a subpoena from our committee,” Turner said.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) chairs the panel. A spokeswoman for Schiff did not respond to a request for comment.
