Justice Department FBI resist lawmaker demands for 'Trump dossier' files: officials
Devin Nunes
The U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee issued subpoenas in August seeking âany and all documentsâ about both agenciesâ dealings with former MI6 officer Christopher Steele  according to a letter seen by Reuters from committee chairman Devin Nunes  a Trump supporter.
Two officials said  Nunes  met with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein behind closed doors on Thursday to discuss the subpoenas.
âThe Deputy Attorney General is meeting with  Nunes  as part of an ongoing negotiation over what information DOJ will provide or how it will be provided â a Justice Department official said.
The FBI declined to comment on anything to do with Nunesâ request. A spokesman for  Nunes  declined to comment.
According to a Sept. 1 letter  Nunes  sent to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions  the subpoenas demand that the department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation produce all documents related to their ârelationshipâ with Steele and the âso-called âTrump Dossierâ.
Sessions recused himself earlier this year from the Russia investigation.  Nunes  publicly recused himself from leading the Russia probe in April following a secret visit  he  paid to White House officials.
