"New reports of DOJ/FBI compliance with document requests are NOT accurate," the North Carolina Republican tweeted.

You have probably heard that Congress has “oversight” powers over these executive departments and agencies. In a sense that’s true, although there was no Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1789. Indeed, there is no Department of Justice mentioned in the Constitution...
