Pelosi, Schumer Urge DOJ and FBI to Hold Bipartisan Gang of Eight Briefing on Sensitive Documents in Place of Partisan Meeting

Today, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer urged Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Chris Wray to abandon plans to hold a meeting between DOJ and FBI officials and Republican members of Congress to discuss highly sensitive information related to Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. In a letter to Rosenstein and Wray, the leaders urged the Justice Department officials not to go forward with the meeting, but said that if DOJ was intent on proceeding, they should host a Gang of Eight briefing in place of a partisan meeting.
