A top Senate Republican asked the Justice Department to declassify the email that former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice sent herself about an early January 2017 Oval Office discussion about the Trump-Russia investigations.

Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, sent a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner to Attorney General William Barr on Monday, asking for the partly redacted email to be declassified in its entirety and provided to the committee.
