Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark Meadows of North Carolina have questioned the partiality of two prosecutors on special counsel Robert Mueller's team, demanding answers on what the pair did with information from the Steele dossier.
The two Republican congressmen, members of the conservative Freedom Caucus, sent the a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday targeting Department of Justice prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Zainab Ahmad.
Top DOJ official Bruce Ohr testified last year that he told Weissmann and Ahmad about his meeting with former British spy Christopher Steele, alerting the two prosecutors that Steele was “desperate” to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president before the special counsel was appointed.
"Since beginning our investigation in October 2017, we have obtained evidence of political bias and self-described 'unusual' conduct within the Department raising questions about the independence of the Special Counsel's Office. We learned several employees of the Special Counsel's Office are affiliated with political opponents of President Trump," the letter reads.
Jordan and Meadows claim that Weissmann and Ahmad’s appointment to the Special Counsel’s Office gives the investigation an "appearance of bias" against Trump.
"Weissmann's and Ahmad's receipt of biased information before their appointment to the Special Counsel's Office puts into question their impartiality, the very reason for establishing an independent Special Counsel investigation."
