Special justification: TheJusticeDept reveals reason for 'stonewalling' investigations into POTUS Biden, Trump docs
Uriarte told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he was responding to an Aug. 14 letter that requested information on “the potential risk to national security posed by documents recovered by the search” of Trump’s Florida resort home — a letter which DOJ said also sought “non-public information that is central to an ongoing criminal investigation.
Uriarte said prosecutors working on the Trump and Biden sagas “are actively working to enable sharing information.”“Our job here is intelligence oversight. The Justice Department has had the Trump documents about six months, the Biden documents about three months. Our job is not to figure out if somebody mishandled those, our job is to make sure there's not an intelligence compromise,” the Virginia Democrat.
“Let me tell you how absurd this is, there isn't a day that goes by that there isn't some media report about what was found where, what some sort of characterization of the material in the press," Rubio said."So somehow, the only people who are not allowed to know what was in there are congressional oversight committees. But apparently, the media leaks out of the DOJ are unimpeded in terms of characterizing the nature of some of the materials that were found.
