His comments came in a Monday letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. The remarks were detailed in a Monday report by CBS News.
Grassley noted a May 31 letter he had sent. “In that letter, I noted that Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure that the Executive Branch executes the law and uses taxpayer money appropriated to it in accordance with congressional intent.
