The FBI has turned over hundreds of pages of subpoenaed documents to the House Judiciary Committee as part of ongoing Republican-led investigations.

The release follows complaints from committee members that they had not received the materials requested from the Biden-Harris administration.

A letter from FBI Assistant Director Marshall Yates to Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), obtained by the Washington Examiner on Monday, confirmed that the documents cover several key areas of inquiry, including threats against school administrators, the discovery of pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and alleged ties between violent extremists and a faction of Catholicism.

The materials also include records related to the FBI’s interactions with social media companies regarding foreign interference in the 2020 election.

“As a sign of good faith, we are providing this initial production more than a week ahead of the Committee’s subpoena deadline,” Yates wrote.

The letter further stated that the release was part of “phase 1” of the subpoenaed materials and signaled an effort by the bureau to “restore trust” and increase transparency under new leadership.

The document handover comes after Jordan subpoenaed FBI Director Kash Patel for records that former Director Christopher Wray had failed to provide.

Patel, a former Trump administration official and key ally of Jordan, was confirmed as FBI Director last month following Wray’s resignation.

Committee spokesman Russell Dye confirmed that some of the provided documents were previously undisclosed.

“We are thankful for Director Patel’s work and we will have more updates soon,” Dye stated.

Jordan has been a vocal supporter of Patel’s appointment and advocated for his confirmation.

Patel had also provided financial assistance to former FBI agents who reported alleged political bias within the bureau.

Under Wray’s tenure, the FBI maintained communication with House Republicans but frequently withheld certain investigative materials, citing agency policy on ongoing investigations.

Dissatisfaction with Wray’s handling of document requests contributed to his early resignation before the end of his 10-year term.

The subpoenas issued by Jordan indicate that the Judiciary Committee will continue its scrutiny of the FBI, investigations that began under the previous Congress.

With Patel now leading the bureau, Republicans expect a more cooperative response from the agency, though Democrats and centrist Republicans have voiced concerns over the partisan direction of the new leadership.

Alongside Patel, newly appointed Deputy Director Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and conservative media commentator, has taken a senior leadership role at the bureau.

Bongino has been a vocal critic of the FBI, repeatedly calling for widespread firings within the agency and raising doubts about the FBI’s handling of the January 6 pipe bomb investigation.

Jordan praised Bongino’s appointment, calling him a “great pick” for deputy director, though the FBI Agents Association had pushed for an internal promotion to support Patel, as neither he nor Bongino have prior experience working within the FBI.

FBI spokesman Ben Williamson stated that Patel has prioritized transparency and engagement with congressional oversight committees.

“Director Patel has put a major emphasis on transparency in order to help rebuild the public’s faith in their FBI,” Williamson said.

“Responsiveness to the requests of [Senate Judiciary Committee] Chairman [Chuck] Grassley and Chairman Jordan are a critical part of that mission and we look forward to continuing to work with them.”

The release of these subpoenaed materials marks a significant development in the Judiciary Committee’s ongoing investigations into the FBI’s past actions and handling of politically sensitive matters.

As Jordan and his committee push forward, the agency’s new leadership is expected to face continued scrutiny from both supporters and critics in Congress.
