Further delay is unacceptable': GOP senators demand CIA Director Gina Haspel hand over Trump-Russia documents

Two top Senate Republicans said they are fed up with the CIA dragging its feet in responding to their request for records relevant to their joint investigation into the Trump-Russia investigators.

A letter sent by Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa to CIA Director Gina Haspel was made public Wednesday after Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe revealed that he handed over nearly 1,000 pages of documents to assist U.S. Attorney John Durham with his criminal inquiry into misconduct by law enforcement and intelligence officials who looked into ties between President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

Although we have requested all intelligence reporting provided or made available to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team, we have not received any responsive documents. Yet we know that such information exists and recent revelations from them are disturbing,” Johnson and Grassley told Haspel on Wednesday. “This cannot continue – the American public has a right to know about the rampant mistakes and biased decisions that occurred during the Obama administration that undermined a peaceful transition of power.”

Johnson and Grassley said they expect “full compliance” with their July letter by Friday, saying that “if the material is classified, it can be produced in an appropriate setting,” but “further delay is unacceptable.”
