Mccarthy Requests Documents And Testimony From Garland About The Mar A Lago Investigation

  House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, requesting that Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray testify publicly and provide documents that Republicans have requested about the investigation.  as congressional GOP pressure on the Justice Department intensifies.   

  House Republicans are limited in what they can do as they are currently in the minority and do not have the power to compel public testimony from Garland, but McCarthy’s request offers a preview of the GOP agenda if Republicans regain the House in November’s midterm elections, which would give them unilateral subpoena power.   

  In the letter, McCarthy, as well as top Republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary and Intelligence committees, claim the Justice Department is “proceeding in a manner that erodes public trust and confidence” by not testifying publicly before congressional committees.  or producing the documents related to the investigation that Republicans have requested.   

  “The right time is now and the right way is to appear publicly before and answer these important questions to the congressional jurisdictional committees that oversee your department,” the letter said.  Republicans are specifically calling for Garland and Wray to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, where GOP Rep. Jim Jordan serves as the ranking member.   

  “To ensure effective oversight, you must provide all requested materials promptly without redactions or withholdings,” the Republican letter continues.   

  In calling for a public briefing, McCarthy writes that a private briefing with congressional and intelligence committee leadership would not go far enough.  The letter states, “instead of appearing before the appropriate jurisdictional committees, the DOJ appears to want to limit interactions on this matter to a small group of members.”   

  McCarthy’s letter comes as congressional Republicans put increased pressure on the Justice Department over the investigation.  Jordan as well as House of Representatives member James Comer and Mike Turner, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have submitted their own requests to the DOJ as well as other agencies involved in the investigation, such as the National Archives .   

  Congressional Republicans have largely defended Trump over the investigation and its ongoing fallout even amid questions about the former president’s handling of classified material.   

  U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday released a detailed inventory from the Mar-a-Lago investigation that the Justice Department had previously sealed in court.   

  The search warrant released showed that classified documents had been mixed with personal items and other materials in the boxes in which they were stored.  Federal investigators also retrieved more than 11,000 unclassified government documents.
