The Justice Department and FBI will be offering an additional briefing early next week to members of the “Gang of Eight” who were briefed last month on classified intelligence information related to the Russia investigation, the Washington Examiner has learned.

 

According to a senior Justice Department official, the Gang of Eight will allowed to review new documents that were not provided during the original May 24 briefing.

 

The briefing is to answer certain questions that have been raised by both House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other members, the official said.

 

“The Department and FBI believes it can provide information that is directly responsive to congressional inquiries in a manner that is consistent with its national security and law enforcement responsibilities, and is pleased to do so,” said the senior Justice Department official.

 

The briefing is expected Monday or Tuesday, depending on lawmakers’ schedules.

 

The Justice Department official noted that some of the documents to be allowed for review were already made available, "but not inspected by the members at the previous briefing along with some additional material."

 

The information was originally sought by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and pertains to classified documents and information about the Russia investigation.
