Statewide, Iowa – Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says the current U.S. Department of Justice is the most responsive of any he’s worked with from either party. However, hundreds of documents he requested from the agency still have not been produced.
Grassley is seeking records in several looming cases, including two that focus on smearing Republicans and President Trump.
Among the cases, Round River involved the FBI’s alleged targeting of conservative officials and groups during the Biden administration, and Crossfire Hurricane, where the FBI is accused of probing for links between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Grassley chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and met this past Monday with Todd Blanche, Trump’s nominee for attorney general. The Iowa Republican says he’s looking forward to “moving ahead with Blanche’s nomination” and anticipates chairing his hearing in July.
Grassley says the missing documents are key to bringing these and other cases to light.
Grassley says the investigations should be exposed “so this never happens again.”
