Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on the Judiciary, Rep. Greg Casar, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Vice Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, demanded answers from U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Director Kash Patel regarding the reported use of federal law enforcement resources for purely political purposes.  The lawmakers sent a letter to Bondi and Patel following reports that the FBI had agreed to assist Texas Republicans in finding Texas state legislators who left the state to block Republican efforts to gerrymander the state’s Congressional districts ahead of next year’s mid-term elections.  The Members pressed the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI to clarify whether they are involved in these efforts.  If they are, the Members demanded that DOJ and FBI provide the legal basis and justification for these actions, as well as details about any use of federal taxpayer-funded resources, tools, and systems in this matter.
