Dem Senators File FOIA Request On Barr/Ukraine

Axios reports:

Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris, Richard Blumenthal and Sheldon Whitehouse requested documents and communications from the Justice Department on Nov. 8 related to President Trump’s reported call for Attorney General Bill Barr to hold a press conference exonerating the president of any wrongdoing on the July 25 Ukraine call.

The White House continues to defy congressional subpoenas related to the impeachment inquiry.

This document request is one attempt to work around that resistance and collect more information. The senators are requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This is the second time these senators made a FOIA request for Trump-Ukraine information in less than three weeks.
