Dateline Washington – Ahead of today’s classified briefing by the Intelligence Community on attempts by the Russian government to influence the last election, all House Judiciary Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Karen Bass (D-Culver City/Crenshaw District) led by ranking member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) sent a letter to FBI Director James Comey.

The letter urged Mr. Comey to publicly acknowledge the existence of an investigation into President-elect Trump and his associates–and to release copies of all relevant investigative materials regarding the investigation to the House Judiciary Committee, in the same way it did after its investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

The letter was signed by every Democratic member of the U. House Judiciary Committee, including: John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Hank Johnson (D-GA), Judy Chu (D-CA), Ted Deutch (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), KaCedric Richmond (D-LA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), David Cicilline (D-RI), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Ted Lieu (D-CA) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Full text of the letter is available here.
