Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 Dear Mr. Attomey General: For more than two years, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (the Committee) conducted a wide-ranging investigation into the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. As part of that investigation, Committee Republicans identified several potential violations of law. Given the sensitivities surrounding this matter, I will have my staff contact the ‘Department to arrange a time for Representative John Ratcliffe and me to brief you directly on eight criminal referrals. I appreciate your consideration of this matter.
