UPDATE: From CNN:
A compromise was reached later Wednesday that allows House Intelligence Committee members to go to a Justice Department facility to view the documents, sources said...In this case, the documents can be reviewed but not taken from FBI and Justice Department possession.
The Justice Department has also approved a slew of Justice and FBI officials to be interviewed by the committee in January, including former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, an official with ties to Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the Trump dossier; embattled FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, whose text messages trashing the President became cannon fodder for congressional Republicans last month; and recently reassigned FBI General Counsel James Baker. The committee will also be permitted to interview FBI Attorney Lisa Page (who exchanged the texts with Strzok), FBI Attorney Sally Moyer, FBI Assistant Director for the Office of Congressional Affairs Greg Brower, FBI Assistant Director Bill Priestap and FBI Chief of Staff James Rybicki.
CNN has also learned from a source with knowledge of the negotiations that a second batch of Strzok's text messages is expected to be produced for the committee next week.
Ryan backed Nunes in spat with Justice Dept. over Russia documents, sources say (CNN)
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray took a trip to Capitol Hill Wednesday, reportedly to speak with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) about the Russia investigation.
Shortly afterwards, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) released the following statement:
“After speaking to Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein this evening, I believe the House Intelligence Committee has reached an agreement with the Department of Justice that will provide the committee with access to all the documents and witnesses we have requested. The committee looks forward to receiving access to the documents over the coming days.”
Nunes subpoenaed the DOJ last August to discover whether the FBI used information from Steele's dossier to apply for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants that targeted Trump campaign officials Carter Page and, reportedly, Paul Manafort.
The DOJ did not respond by the September deadline, and Nunes threatened to hold Rosenstein and FBI Director Chris Wray in contempt of Congress.
The New York Times reported December 30th that Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos' conversation with an Australian diplomat over drinks in London – not the Steele dossier – sparked the Russia investigation.
Fusion GPS' founders said the same in an op-ed published January 2nd:
We don’t believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.’s investigation into Russian meddling. As we told the Senate Judiciary Committee in August, our sources said the dossier was taken so seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp.
The intelligence committees have known for months that credible allegations of collusion between the Trump camp and Russia were pouring in from independent sources during the campaign. Yet lawmakers in the thrall of the president continue to wage a cynical campaign to portray us as the unwitting victims of Kremlin disinformation.
However, none of this has stopped Rep. Nunes, a steadfast Trump supporter who served on his transition team, from continuing his quest to focus on the dossier and the FBI and divert attention and resources away from investigating the extent of Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion.
Also, since Nunes has a tendency to act unilaterally and not inform Democrats on his committee when he is making requests or issuing subpoenas, colleagues are paying close attention to this particular document deal:
"When material is produced to the Committee, it is generally produced to both the Majority and Minority and, in this case specifically, we expect it to be an equal review," a House Democratic aide told Business Insider on Thursday.
"We are working with the Majority and the administration to work out the details of this review," the aide said.
