A joint investigation into potential political bias at the highest level of the Justice Department will be issuing a subpoena for documents relating to FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email server, three House Judiciary Committee sources told The Hill on Thursday.
House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., are leading the investigation and Goodlatte's subpoena gives a two-week deadline that will expire before lawmakers come back from Easter recess, according to the report.
Goodlatte told the Hill his subpoena requests documents related to the conduct of fired FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
The reports of a subpoena of the DOJ comes just days after President Donald Trump attacked "lying James Comey" and McCabe in a tweetstorm Sunday.
President Trump also decried the political makeup of FBI special counsel Robert Mueller's investigative team.
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have been frustrated with the delay in obtaining documents from the DOJ and conservatives have urged Goodlatte to be more assertive in the investigation that began in late October, according to the Hill.
