House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday he expects the Justice Department to turn over all the documents Republicans are seeking about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, and said he hasn’t yet spoken to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes about his call to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt if the documents aren’t produced.
“We expect the administration to comply with our document requests as a matter of form for the executive branch and our legislative branch oversight,” Ryan said at a Tuesday morning press briefing. “So I haven’t spoken with Devin about this, we have a thorough process we go through, but we clearly expect the administration to honor our document requests.”
