Investigation into the White House and Department of Justice on Security of FBI Background Investigation Files
House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
Abstract
The Committee on Government Reform and Oversight invested the White House's unauthorized possession of FBI files. The report found that the White House had improperly requested confidential files without reason and FBI General Counsel Howard Shapiro provided such confidential files. The information made available to the committee was incomplete, so they did not make a recommendation further than calling for Shapiro to resign.
