From Fox News: FBI Director Kash Patel is working “aggressively” to comply ahead of schedule with congressional document requests in an effort to follow through on his commitment for the bureau to provide transparency to the American people, Fox News Digital has learned.
On Friday, the FBI sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee notifying the panel that it was handing over a tranche of documents pursuant to a subpoena from Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
Fox News Digital has learned that the records shared by the FBI included more than 400 pages on topics the committee had long been seeking, dating back to the Biden administration, relating to topics such as former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s school board memo and the Jan. 6 pipe bomb investigation.
The FBI’s compliance came more than a week before the March 17 deadline set by Jordan.
The FBI also turned over documents related to the bureau’s engagement with social media entities and the now-disbanded Foreign Influence Task Force.
For years, Senate and House Republicans have voiced frustration over the FBI missing deadlines for documents requests and defying congressional subpoenas under the leadership of former directors Chris Wray and James Comey.
In a post on X Monday night, Patel announced, “Our team has been working day and night to produce documents for Chairman Grassley and Chairman Jordan and this is only the beginning. To rebuild trust, your FBI will be opening the books at levels never done before.”
