House Republicans demand FBI disclose how it is complying with DOJ school board memo
Fox News
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding answers from the FBI on how they are complying with Attorney General Merrick Garland's directive on school board meetings.
"The Attorney General directed you and all U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to take action to address parents attending school board meetings," they wrote. "This unusual directive is particularly worrisome as it applies to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and given the FBI’s illegal spying on the Trump campaign and its scandalous history of misconduct and politicization."
The Republicans were referring to the FBI’s work in securing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page in its effort to probe whether the campaign was colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
