Changes of this magnitude with no discernible justification must be scrutinized.
We ask that you immediately provide all committee records that you have withheld, commit to fully complying with Senate Rules XXVI and XXVII going forward, and apologize to Mr. Smith on behalf of the Committee.
These changes threaten to undermine the work of the FBI and pose a grave risk to the Bureau’s integrity.
