The FBI has produced some documentation in response to congressional demands, Jordan wrote, but it has failed to produce an unredacted version of the controversial memorandum concerning the investigations into local Catholic communities.
The documentation provided thus far by the FBI also obscures key details, Jordan wrote, including the process by which the memorandum was circulated and the senior intelligence analysts who approved the program.
“The committee’s subpoenas impose legal obligations on you to comply and produce responsive materials,” Jordan wrote. “Thus, your refusal to produce documents responsive to the committee’s subpoenas — months after the return dates — is unacceptable.”
The congressman gave Wray until July 25 to comply with the numerous committee requests.
“If the FBI fails to do so,” Jordan wrote, “the committee will take action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings, to obtain compliance with these subpoenas.”
Wray had told Jordan earlier this month that he would “find out if there’s more of the document that can be shared” with the committee.
