WASHINGTON D.C – On Monday, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a letter to Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel requesting their offices take immediate action to remove all redactions from interview transcripts relating to the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General’s (DOJ OIG) examination of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
In April 2023, the senators requested these unredacted transcripts from the DOJ OIG. However, the DOJ OIG informed the senators that the redactions in those transcripts were made by other government agencies, such as the FBI and DOJ, and the DOJ OIG lacked the authority to release the information.
The senators’ recent letter calls on DOJ and FBI to work with the DOJ OIG to produce these unredacted versions of the transcripts as soon as possible.
