Facing renewed criticism from President Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has tasked the U.S. attorney in Chicago with overseeing the Justice Department’s response to a congressional request for documents on some of its most high-profile investigations and decisions.
Sessions and FBI Director Christopher A. Wray asked U.S. Attorney John Lausch, whom Trump picked to lead the U.S. attorney’s office in the Northern District of Illinois, over the weekend if he would supervise the Justice Department’s handing over of materials to Congress on the surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, the investigation of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and the firing of Andrew McCabe from the FBI.
The Justice Department is expected to formally announce the move Monday.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) had issued a subpoena last month for the documents, saying that the Justice Department was taking too long to hand them over.
On Saturday, Trump suggested the reason for the delay might be nefarious.“What does the Department of Justice and FBI have to hide? Why aren’t they giving the strongly requested documents (unredacted) to the HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE? Stalling, but for what reason? Not looking good!”
