Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo to Department of Justice (DOJ) employees reiterating the agency’s policy that prohibits communicating with congressional lawmakers.
Garland wrote in a Tuesday memo to staff that the agency is reminding “all Department personnel of our existing policies regarding communications between the Justice Department and Congress,” citing and directing to a Justice Manual provision that states “communications between the Department and Congress … will be managed or coordinated by” the department’s Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA).
