This came in response to a letter sent by all 9 Democrats on the committee that reads the following:
Dear Chairman Grassley:
The Attorney General’s recusal announcement is a welcome first step, but it leaves many significant questions unanswered.
The Attorney General’s responses to our questions during his confirmation process were, at best, incomplete and misleading. Unfortunately, he has not explained why he failed to come forward and correct the record before reports of his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak became public, why there was a delay in recusing himself until those public disclosures, and why he only recused himself with respect to campaign-related investigations and not Russian contacts with the Trump transition team and administration. Given the seriousness of this matter, we do not believe that a written submission to correct the record is sufficient.
