Lee told The Associated Press that this is the fourth attempt to get the president to sign a law in Congress requiring the Department of Justice to provide the public with infonatyasastra.comrmation on the uranium company that owns and operates the company, Uranium One.

Since this time, the Obama administration has tried to use congressional threats to obtain information, however — a tactic that has had minimal success.

In 2012, a U.S. Senate panel blocked a proposal that would have required the U.S. Attorney General to produce documents about the company under its legal authority.

The department has argued the department cannot obtain such a document from an “independent investigative entity,” which might i우리카지노nclude the company under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.
