WASHINGTON — The House Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed the Justice Department and the FBI for documents related to a dossier of salacious allegations involving President Donald Trump and possible ties to Russia. The department and the agency had missed the original Sept. 1 deadline, so the panel extended the deadline to Sept. 14. According to the letter, the original subpoenas requested any documents related to the dossier and sought information about whether the department was involved in its production. The panel issued two additional subpoenas to Sessions and Wray late Tuesday to underscore its seriousness on the matter. It’s unclear to what extent the allegations in the dossier have been corroborated or verified by the FBI since the bureau has not publicly discussed it.
