This resolution of inquiry would request that the Dept. of Justice (DOJ) provide the House of Representatives with any document, record, audio recording, memo, correspondence, or other communication related to certain actions taken by former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe within 14 days. It’d apply to any records of meetings between McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, including but not limited to conversations about wearing a wire to record the president and any reference concerning the invocation of the 25th Amendment. Additionally, records of meetings between or among McCabe and others at the FBI related to commencing or continuing an obstruction of justice or counterintelligence investigation of the president. The DOJ and FBI have resisted previous requests to turn over McCabe’s records.

As a resolution of inquiry, this bill wouldn’t advance beyond the House and would only serve as a formal request of the executive branch to turn over relevant records.
