i cannot believe what i'm hearing from the government, mr deputy speaker.al, not just about this report. over the last six months, there have been not one, not two but three high court decisions or tribunal rulings which have said the government's actions with regard to pip, and most recently in relation to severely disabled people transitioning onto uc, are discriminatory and unlawful. now after president donald trump signed an executive order seeking to end the separation of migrant children from their parents at the us border, the issue of refugees has once again come into the spotlight. in the commons, mps were debating the importance of reuniting refugee families. the debate was led by the snp's angus macneil, who said there were 22 and a half million refugees in the world and half of them are under 18. when you drill down with the public — despite what some in the media would like to say — but when you drill down with the public, engage with the public and talk to the public about refugees and you're not afraid of the arguments, you see that the publi

mr. deputy attorney general, does the linynn letter still gu response? >> yes. i've tried to explain this issue to some of your colleagues. i wrote a letter that goes into some detail about the background and explains why it is this committee would not want us to turn over every document in fbi files. this committee would want us to exercise appropriate responsibility to make sure we're not damaging any case, risking the life or safety of any informant or causing harm to national security. that's what we're doing. >> finally i'm sure you hear complaints that the special counsel's investigation is taking too long. i don't know what mr. mueller knows other than what he has put into his charging documents and plea agreements. everything else we hear about the investigation has either been leaked or made up entirely by president trump and his lawyers and then repeated by republicans hoping to undermine the special counsel. i don't know what mr. mueller knows and most of my colleagues are similarly situated. you know the case better than anyone else. i have three bri
