The FBI furnished key files to the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday regarding its work to combat domestic Catholic extremism and an uptick in threats against school administrators.
The documents in question reveal details about a Justice Department order for the FBI to probe an alleged “disturbing spike” in threats against school officials amid a wave of conservative backlash in 2021. Both matters have become a rallying cry for Republicans who have accused the bureau of being biased against conservatives.In a letter to Jordan attached to the documents, Acting Assistant Director Christopher Dunham urged the chairman to refrain from disseminating the files.
Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, has had to navigate interactions with a GOP-led House that is deeply skeptical of the bureau.Top Republicans in Congress have battled with the bureau over documents in the past.
