The review process will take place in person at the DOJ, according to a letter to members of Congress obtained by NBC News. The members will be able to review the material on computers at the DOJ offices but not the physical documents themselves.
The letter states that members can review the documents in person, provided they give the DOJ 24 hours’ notice. The option at this point is only available to members of Congress — and not their staff. They may take notes but can’t bring in any electronic devices, the letter said.
The review will only be of the 3 million files currently available to the public, not the extensive trove of more than 6 million documents in total that the DOJ says it has in its possession.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche promised members of Congress access to the material when he announced the release of all the documents officials planned to make public last Friday.
Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., the co-authors of the law that resulted in the DOJ releasing the massive trove of documents, wrote Blanche a letter later that day asking for access to the unredacted files.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee also sent Blanche a letter last week asking for the opportunity to review the material as soon as possible.
