Jordan initially requested access to information about the classified documents that were found during that search, including files and communications between the FBI Washington Field Office and the Secret Service before the raid was executed. The DOJ rebuffed much of Jordan’s request, arguing it could not share “non-public information about an ongoing criminal investigation and prosecution by a Special Counsel.
Jordan also requested information about which personnel was assigned to the case in an attempt to understand the scope of the Mar-a-Lago search last August. However, the department did provide limited information about special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president, telling Jordan “approximately 26 Special Agents” have worked “either full or part-time … in some capacity” up until March of this year.
Additionally, the department outlined the official orders appointing Smith and Robert Hur to lead the investigations into the classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s personal residence and office building.Jordan’s request followed the release of the highly anticipated Durham Report, an examination of the FBI’s investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Jordan has not publicly responded to the DOJ’s response, and it remains unclear if he’ll continue to push for more information.
