Jordan asks Patel to end Biden-era FBI stonewalling on Trump-Russia collusion hoax docs

Just the News Header

The full truth about the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation has long been buried. Jim Jordan is asking Kash Patel to end the Biden-era stonewalling and to hand over a trove of documents on the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

A top House Republican is calling upon the FBIโ€™s new chief to comply with his committeeโ€™s requests for the truth about the FBIโ€™s deeply flawed investigation into and promotion of the Trump-Russiaย collusion hoax.

Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday that โ€œthe Committee still must fully assess and understand the lengths to which the FBI went to interfere in the 2016 presidential election,โ€ according to a letter obtained by Just the News.

Jordan asked Patel to hand over a host of documents tied to the false collusion saga โ€” documents which now-former FBI Director Christopher Wray had refused to provide.

โ€œDuring the 117th and 118th Congresses, the Committee sent several letters requesting information and documents concerning the FBIโ€™s failings in opening and conducting an investigation โ€” code named โ€˜Crossfire Hurricaneโ€™ โ€” into debunked allegations of collusion between President Trumpโ€™s 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government,โ€ Jordanโ€™s new letter to Patel said. โ€œUnfortunately, former Director Wray failed to produce many of these materials before he resigned.โ€

Special Counsel John Durhamโ€™s 2023 report said the launch of the FBIโ€™s Crossfire Hurricane wasย hugely flawedย and that an โ€œobjective and honest assessmentโ€ of the facts โ€œshould have caused the FBI to question not only the predication for Crossfire Hurricane, but also to reflect on whether the FBI was being manipulated for political or other purposes,โ€ but โ€œunfortunately, it did not.โ€

Wray responded to the Durham report in the summer of 2023 byย downplaying its findingsย and arguing to the House Judiciary Committee that โ€œthe conduct in 2016 and 2017 that Special Counsel John Durham examined was the reason that current FBI leadership had already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time,โ€ while Wray contended that โ€œhad those reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented.โ€
