mr. jordan's question, we are producing the documents. it is a large volume of documents, taking a lot of time. as i said, we brought in mr. laush, we changed the process. i think in reality it is working quite well. and whatever anybody votes on is beyond my control. >> well, go ahead. >> congressman, we are committed to being responsive to legitimate congressional oversight. we're trying our hardest to produce documents as quickly as we possibly can and as completely as we possibly can. we also have an obligation to protect ongoing criminal and counterintelligence investigations. we also have an obligation to respect grand jury secrecy. we also have an obligation to protect sources and methods. and we're sworn to do those things just like we are to protect and be responsive to congressional oversight. and the inspector general's report, ironically, the report that we're here to talk about, is very pointed on the subject as one of the principled failings that it found was commenting on an ongoing investigation publicly and with congress.

mr. jordan. >> why are you keeping information from congress mr. rosenstein?m not keeping any information from congress that it's appropriate. >> in a few minutes the house of representatives will say something different. >> i don't agree with you, congressman and i don't believe that's what they are going to say. >> i think in a few minutes the house of the representatives is going to go on record saying you haven't complied with requests from a separate and equal branch of government, that you haven't complied with subpoenas and you have seven days to get your act together. that's what is going to happen. that's not jim jordan. i think that's the house of the majority of representatives. i don't know why you won't give us what we've asked for. >> i certainly hope your colleagues aren't under that impression. that is not accurate, sir. >> it is accurate. we have caught you hiding information. >> point of order. we can go to mr. jordan's press conference but we came here to hear from the witness. will you allow him to answer? >> we've caught you hiding informa

mr. jordan is a leader of, took down the farm bill a couple of weeks ago basically because they wanted to address the immigration bill first. they were promised by leadership that there would be a vote on the conservative immigration bill that really focused on not just the daca children, but more border security and the border wall. when they did not get their vote on the bill, they decided to hold up something that everybody andhe conference wants things is good, which is the farm bill. it is a priority for the speaker, as he is on his way out the door. it is very important to a number of folks around the country who have farms in their districts. a number of constituencies. the big priority of the year as we look forward to the midterm elections. right now, jordan wants to move forward on a farm bill, but he said let's do immigration first. they are sticking to their guns and want to tackle immigration, then turn to the farm bill. >> he seems to still be qualifying that. it is not just whatever happens and then we go to the farm bill. there was hedging that makes me think they will kee

mr. jordan, the truth is we have a team of folks. they're trump appointees and career folks and they're doing their best to produce the documents. director wray explained the process. there are hundreds of people working around the clock trying to satisfy the requests. whether you vote or not is not going to affect it. you'll get everything we can find and produce to you. i support this report. i'm not trying to hide anything from you. >> wow. you thought we argue in the commercial breaks. >> that was ohio congressman jim jordan. i'm going to say going after rod rosenn rosenstein. >> who was giving it back. normally the witnesses hold back. he was pushing a little bit. it was an interesting discussion. >> it was an interesting discussion. >> or something. >> or something. >> all right. coming up next, we've been promising this conversation. it's one we're very interested in. the new faces of the democratic party. we'll speak live. >> what exactly do they represent? >> two breakout candidates who are pushing progressive issues, and ch

mr. jordan to offer an amendment that was not germane. then you stood at a view in the cameras in the hallway while ms. the maturity offered to overturn the amendment. wednesday you dropped all committee business. meet so the majority can criticize the deputy attorney general to his face about his failure to produce documents you know we cannot produce. you will take a break so that we can go to the four -- floor. it is a measure without pretextt and clearly a against a move that the majority has already planned. what is the great emergency that justifies this last-minute hearing? the tired story of hillary clinton's emails, plus conspiracy theories about a special counsel. while we are actively separating families at the border and ripping children from their parents, that did not merit an emergency but meeting by this committee. now thousands of children are still separated and there is no clear plan to reunite them. where's the emergency hearing on that issue? russia who interfered in our 2016 elections is actively working to interfere

mr. jordan's press conference but we came here to hear from the witnesses. >> the time belongs to the gentleman- >> mr. rosenstein -- >> can we allow him to answer? >> reporter: rosenstein visibly frustrated. >> mr. jordan -- i am the deputy attorney general of the united states. okay? i'm not the person doing the redacting. i'm responsible for responding to your concerns as i have. i have a team with me, sir. it's just a fraction of the team that's doing this work. whenever you brought issues to my attention, i have taken appropriate steps to remedy them. so your statement that i am personally keeping information from you, trying to conceal information? >> you're the boss, mr. rosenstein. >> that's correct, and my job is to make sure that we respond to your concerns. we have, sir. >> i think the house of representative s is going to say otherwise. >> your use of this to attack me personally -- >> it's not personal -- >> reporter: rosenstein and fbi director writes to have wray both defended their response to an onslaught of requests from republicans to turn over records about the 2016 clinton

mr. jordan is here, so he'll correct me if my understanding is incorrect. but i understand mr. sed you, mr. rosenstein, on the floor during debate, of threatening the hip sy staff if they attempt to hold you in contempt for failing to comply with document requests. i think it is important to put this on the record. have you ever threatened congressional staff including but not limited to house intelligence committee staff as it relates to requests for your -- for you to produce documents or any other matter for that? >> congresswoman, people make all kinds of allegations. and in my business, we ask who is the witness, how credible are they? if someone comes forward and swears under oath i threatened them, i'll be happy to respond. all i can tell you with regard to that matter is that in the room at the time were three officials appointed by president trump, confirmed by the united states senate, director wray, assistant attorney general boyd and me, two former u.s. republican attorneys were also in the room with us, greg brower, serving as the legislative liaison for the fbi and

mr. jordan -- >> it's redacted. >> i am the deputy attorney general of the united states, okay? i'm not the person doing the redacting. i'm responsible for responding to your concerns as i have. i have a team with me, sir. it's just a fraction of the team that's doing this work. and whenever you brought issues to my attention, i have taken appropriate steps to remedy them. so your statement that i'm personally keeping information from you, trying to conceal frogs -- >> you're the boss, mr. rosenstein. >> that's correct. and my job is to make sure that we respond to your concerns. we have, sir. now, i've appointed mr. loush, who is managing that production. and my understanding is it's actually going very well, sir. so i appreciate your concerns. >> again, i think the house of representatives is going to say otherwise. >> but your use of this to attack me personally is wrong. >> well, it went on like that, and a short time later congressman jordan asked rosenstein about a report that he had somehow threatened staffers on the house intelligence committee. >> mr. rosenstein, did yo

mr. jordan's press conference and listen to him but we dicame here to listen to the witness. >> you are theoss, mr. rosenstein. >> that's correct. my job is to make sure we respond to your concerns. why have, sir. >> did you threaten staffs or the house intelligence committee? media reports indicate you did. >> media reports are mistaken. >> sometimes. but this is what they said. having the nation's number one law enforcement officer threaten to subpoena your calls and e-mails is downright chilling. did you threaten to subpoena their calls and e-mails? >> no, sir. and there's no way to subpoena phone calls. >> i'm just saying -- >> the house yesterday passed a resolution calling on the production of these documents by july 6th. otherwise, there's a warning among conservatives that rosenstein could be held in contempt of congress. democrats are saying this is all part of an effort to undercut rosenstein because he's in charge of the mueller investigation. they think that either simply trying to give a pretext for president trump to ultimately fire rod rosenstein and put someone else in charg

mr. jordan. you should believe me because i'm telling the truth and i'm under oath. >> christopher wray got the same treatment on the hill today. guy lewis has worked with robert muell mueller, andrew mccabe and james comey. from my assess. that was a you-know-what slap right there. charlie, give me your reactions to the former republican colleagues in the house attacking the deputy attorney general, the fbi director with such vitriol and grand standing. not to mention wray and rosenstein are both republicans and trump appoint es. >> we well, i don't think rob rosenstein is a very fine and honorable man. i have a lot of faith in him as i do christopher wray. if these members and the president don't have confidence in rosenstein and wray or sessions or mueller, the president could fire them. i would not recommend that. that would set off a political crisis, the likes of which we haven't seen since watergate. they're simply trying to discredit rosenstein and mueller so that whatever they found find

mr. jordan that i am the deputy attorney general, and you certainly are. but the actions of your subordinates which are all employees of the department of justice, aren't you vouching for those? don't those people sponrespond you? >> those people ultimately report to me. yes, sir. >> and that would include when bruce orr's office was next to you and worked for you? >> he worked in the attorney general's office, a couple of doors down, yes. >> a couple of doors down. we're aware of some of the events that took place before your confirmation as the deputy attorney general. however, some of your team members certainly were involved. i want to ask was sheena t -- i'm sorry, trisha anderson

mr. jordan, my time. >> i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. horowitz, how many text messages were exchanged between peter struck and lisa page? >> i don't have an exact number, but tens of thousands. >> tens of thousands. we got to see most of these last fall and over the last several months. there was one we didn't get to see. one text message we didn't get to see until last week when your report came out. it just happened to be the most explosive one. the one that says we'll stop trump. how's come we didn't see that beforehand? >> let me explain how we ended up finding that because i think it's important to also appreciate -- >> i guess i'm more interested if someone was trying to hide it. >> well, we uncovered it in may, so last month. we uncovered it in our fourth round of work on their personal -- on their fbi devices. >> if you uncovered it a month ago, why did we not see it until last thursday? >> i can't answer that question. we provided the materials -- >> but who made the decision? was it mr. wray? it was mr. rosenstein? was it mr. s

mr. jordan's press conference and hear from him but we came here to hear from the witness. >> your statementping information from you and trying to conceal information. >> you're the boss mr. rosenstein. >> that is correct. and my job is to make sure we respond to your concerns and we have. >> did you threaten staffers on the house intelligence committee? media reports indicate you did. >> media reports are mistaken. >> sometimes this is what they said, having the nation's number one law enforcement officer threaten to subpoena your calls and e-mails is down right chilling. did you threaten to subpoena their calls and e-mails. >> no, sir, and there is no way to subpoena phone calls. >> i'm just saying -- >> jim jordan did not intend the hilariously -- the laugh line. they have given rod rosenstein one week to turn over documents related to the e-mail investigation and trump-russia is this about the investigation or something else itious they are tried to undermine the legit -- legitimacy of the investigation and this plays out on capitol hill. it is about discrediting mule. >> discrediting p

mr. jordan. >> reporter: tonight republicans lashing out at the trump apoint appointed republicans who leadbi and justice. >> you have received requests that you haven't complied with subpoenas and you got seven days to get your act together. >> reporter: rod rosenstein responding in a rare display of frustration. >> if you're interested in the truth, the truth is we have a team of folks. they're trump appointees and career folks doing their best to produce the documents. >> reporter: the fbi director christopher wray said hundreds of thousands of pages have been provided to the hill including documents related to criminal investigations. >> for months we've been working with your committees to answer questions and produce or make available to you and your staff over now 880,000 pages. in just the past week, for example, we've had approximately 100 employees working day and night dedicated to this project. >> i didn't think i was going to be spending the first ten months of my job staring down the barrel of a contempt citation. >> reporter: the answers didn't seem to -- trey gowdy spent mor

mr. jordan that, i am the deputy attorney general. and you certainly are. but the actions of your subordinates, which are all employees of the department of aren't you vouching for those? don't those people respond to you? mr. rosenstein: those people report to me, yes, sir. and that would include when bruce's office was next-door years. i think a couple of doors down, but yes. congressman: a couple of doors down. well, we are aware of some events that occurred before your confirmation as deputy attorney general. some of your team members certainly were involved. oshina your deputy, or was trisha anderson involved in any stage of drafting, editing any foreign fisa applications to spy on carter page? who was: i don't know exactly involved in drafting fisa application. congressman: apparently, , you have to answer for the deputy attorney general about applications that he signed? the four applications to spy on carter page? you have been vague as to what sau signed any figh applications? i approved the application. job,essman: that is your ok. you're proved i

mr. jordan. >> i am the deputy attorney general of the united states. okay? i'm not the person doing the redacting. my job is make sure we respond to your concerns. we have. i appointed mr. loush who is managing that production. my understanding is it is going very well, sir. so i appreciate your concerns. >> house of representatives is going to say otherwise. >> your use of this to attack me personally is wrong. >> mr. chairman, may the witness be permitted -- >> it is not personal. >> i am joined by former watergate prosecutor that worked with mueller, comey, and rod rosenstein. how do you think mr. rosenstein did today? that's about as heated as we see him get in a public forum. >> i got to tell you, i have not seen rod get that frustrated. frankly, you could see the anger on his face. if you watched the entire hearing, i think he was called at various times a liar, a cheat, a coverup. clearly i think my best guess is between the president and again remarkably members of his own party, which i assume nick will tell you even in watergate errors that didn't h

mr. jordan's frustration bubble beyond just a small group of members on the judiciary committee so now theuse of representatives is taking a vote and virtually every republican is saying, we do have a role for oversight. rod rosenstein has frustrated that oversight and we want the documents in seven days. to be one at the heart of what you are digging for is whether or not there was a political agenda in place to try to disrupt the trump campaign. and whether or not some of these agents, peter strzok and lisa page, took it upon themselves to try to instigate or set up a pretext for investigating the trump campaign. did you get any further down the road today? >> i think both today and yesterday particularly where we got the chance for the first time to interview peter strzok. we learned a lot more about the ways in which the bias not only existed, but actually manifested an investigative decision. the inspector general, a democrat appointed by barack obama even said he could not rule out bias as the reason why the hillary clinton investigation was pushed aside and the donald trump-russia i

mr. jordan earlier. who said and i quote him, well, now, who are we supposed to believe? the staff members who we've worked with, who have never misled us? or you guys, who we've caught hiding information from us? that's a question he asked to you, mr. rosenstein as you were answer he questionings under oath. the only statement is that a suggestion that you've appeared before us and under oath are lying to members of this committee. it was offensive, it was inappropriate for my colleague to do that. i regret that he had and i yield back the balance of my time. >> the deputy attorney general is allowed to respond if he chooses to do so. >> no need, thank you. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. issa for five minutes. >> mr. rosenstein, i want to start by characterizing my questions as all related to what i perceive as a double standard. the standard that the american people live under, versus the standard that you all live under. i'm going to give you one quick example. you, i think they brought you down a copy of it, 2, usc 194 says it shall be the

mr. jordan that i am the deputy attorney general and you certainly are. but the actions of your subordinates, which are all employees of the department of justice, aren't you vouching for those? don't those people respond to you? >> those people all ultimately report to me, yes, sir. >> and that would include when bruce orr's office was directly next to yours, i believe, isn't that correct? didn't he work for you >> he worked in the attorney general's office. he was a couple of doors down. >> a couple of doors down. well, we're aware of some of the events that occurred before your confirmation as the deputy attorney general. however, some of them your team members certainly were involved. so i want to ask was was trisha anderson involved in any stage of drafting, ed it or approving fisa applications on carter page? >> i wasn't sure if you were directing that question to me. congressman, i don't know exactly who was involved drafting what fisa application. >> so, just to be clear, apparently director wray you have to answer for the deputy attorney general

mr. jordan. >> thank you, gentleman for yielding. mr. horowitz, i want to go back to where we were a few minutes ago. the text message, this mysterious one that was the most scomploefs one disappeared, refound. but the department sits on it for a month. can we get a copy of the correspondence that you had with mr. rosenstein? was there any type of -- how did you communicate to the justice department that you had found this text message. >> my agent sent it by e-mail. >> so you sent an e-mail. >> the print out. the spread sheets of all of the text. we had 120,000 or so. 100 lines of text. >> so you didn't specify where you found this one that had been missing? >> i then -- when we found it, i specified to the associate depu depu deputy attorney general on june 8th he ought to look at this. >> so you sent it to him but you specifically pointed it out two weeks ago. >> correct. when we identified it and saw it as we were going through these 100,000. >> what response did he give you when you pointed it out? the explosive text message. >> tha
