House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes of California said he received the document that shows the Justice Department’s reasoning for launching its Russia probe.
Nunes issued subpoenas and fought for the release of the document.
He threatened to hold deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein and FBI director Christopher Wray in contempt and move to impeach them if they didn’t comply.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes of California said that he and Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina “finally” received the document that reveals the justification for the Justice Department’s Russia probe — one day after he said he had a plan “to impeach” senior Justice Department officials.

“After numerous unfulfilled requests for an Electronic Communication (EC) related to the opening of the FBI’s Russia counterintelligence probe, Chairman Trey Gowdy and I met this afternoon with Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,” Nunes said in a statement.
