Ron Johnson subpoenas documents from FBI director as part of Russia origins probe
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), is subpoenaing the FBI as part of his probe into the Russia investigation.
Johnson, in a subpoena addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray, wants records related to Crossfire Hurricane, the name of the FBI's investigation into Russia's 2016 election interference and the Trump campaign.
That includes, according to the subpoena, any records previously given to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz as part of his review of the four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. While Horowitz found that the decision by the FBI to open an investigation was not motivated by political bias, he also found a combined 17 significant errors and omissions in the four warrant applications...
...Johnson reiterated in his letter that his committee had not taken information from Andriy Derkach, a Ukrainian official whose father worked for Russian intelligence, who previously said he had given information to the Senate panel.
"Let me be clear: The investigation by my committee of allegations of conflicts of interest within the Obama administration related to Ukraine policy and of allegations of corruption within the Obama administration affecting the 2016 election is focused on documents and officials from U.S. government agencies and a U.S. Democrat-linked lobbying firm. We have not taken, nor do we possess, the documents from Ukrainians that Democrats keep claiming," Johnson wrote.
