Dear  Mr.  Oakes: 

t  he  House  Judiciary  Committee  is  investigating  a  number  of  actions  that  threaten  our 
nation’s  longstanding  commitment  to  the  rule  of  law,  including  allegations  of  obstruction  of 
justice,  public  corruption,  and  other  abuses  of  power.  As  part  of  that  work,  I  write  to  request  that 
you  provide  the  documents  set  forth  in  the  attached  Document  Requests  no  later  than  March  1 8, 
2019. 

This  is  a  critical  time  for  our  nation.  President  Trump  and  his  administration  face  wide- 
ranging  allegations  of  misconduct  that  strike  at  the  heart  of  our  constitutional  order.  Congress 
has  a  constitutional  duty  to  serve  as  a  check  and  balance  against  any  such  excesses.  We  have  an 
obligation  to  investigate  evidence  of  abuses  of  executive  power,  public  corruption,  and  acts  of 
obstruction  designed  to  undermine  both  our  laws  and  the  credibility  of  the  agencies  that  enforce 
those  laws.  We  are  also  responsible  for  passing  laws  to  address,  and  prevent  the  recurrence,  of 
any  such  misconduct. 

Under  the  Rules  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  the  Committee  s  jurisdiction  includes 
the  judiciary  and  judicial  proceedings,  civil  liberties,  criminal  law  enforcement,  and  questions  of 
constitutional  law.  The  Committee  is  the  main  oversight  authority  for  the  Department  of  Justice, 
including  its  component  agencies,  its  personnel,  and  its  law  enforcement  activities.  The 
Committee  has  also  played  a  historic  role  as  the  primary  forum  for  hearings  on  the  abuse  of 
executive  power. 


Given  this  charge,  over  the  course  of  our  investigation,  the  Committee  is  determined  to 
ask  critical  questions,  gather  all  of  the  relevant  information,  judiciously  assess  the  evidence,  and 
present  our  findings  to  the  American  people,  whatever  those  findings  may  be. 

To  that  end,  I  respectfully  ask  that  you  produce  the  documents  set  forth  in  the  Document 
Requests.  As  you  will  see,  I  have  limited  the  initial  production  to  materials  that  have  already 
been  produced  in  other  proceedings  to  reduce  the  burden  on  you  and  so  that  they  may  be 
provided  to  us  by  March  18.  My  staff  will  work  with  you  on  a  mutually  agreeable  schedule  for 
the  production  of  the  remainder  of  the  documents  in  Schedule  A. 

Thank  you  for  your  prompt  attention  to  these  requests. 


Sincerely, 


House  Committee  on  the  Judiciary
