“In a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes, R-Calif., obtained by Fox News, the FBI says its confidential explanation outlines whether the “FBI utilized confidential human sources prior to the issuance of the Electronic Communication initiating that investigation.”

“obtained by Fox News” I am assuming that they received a copy?
Thanks...I missed that, but if they are in possession of the whole letter, I wonder why they didn’t publish it in its entirety.
Try this interpretation of the journalistic language:
Fox has seen an unclassified Letter #1 the FBI/DoJ sent to Nunes. That letter tells Nunes they sent a classified Letter #2 (to _________?) about whether the FBI utilized “confidential human sources”...
Paraphrasing etcb’s comment: Letter #2 wouldn’t be classified if the answer was “no”.
I expect it’s “yes” buried under 25 pages of special pleading, then blacked out spaces for the names of the spies.
obtained by Fox News” I am assuming that they received a copy?
++++++.
I assume this was a separate letter that referred to the classified letter.
... Maybe.
