Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Oct. 7 sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel expressing frustration with her failure to produce Russia probe documents they requested more than two months ago.

“We are becoming increasingly disappointed by the CIA’s continued inability to timely respond to our legitimate oversight requests,” the letter (pdf) states. “Your staff met only once with our staff to discuss these requests, and CIA has not produced a single document in response.”
