In a memo, Attorney General Merrick Garland reiterated the DOJ's policy prohibiting employees from communicating with congressional lawmakers.


"All Department personnel have been reminded of our current policies regarding communications between the Justice Department and Congress," Garland wrote in a memo to staff on Tuesday. According to a section of the Justice Manual, "communications between the Department and Congress will be coordinated or managed by" the department's Office of Legislative Affairs.


“Like the policies regarding communications with the White House, these policies ‘are designed to protect our criminal and civil law enforcement decisions, and our legal judgments, from partisan or other inappropriate influences, whether real or perceived, direct or indirect,’” Tuesday’s memo added.


"Repeated requests for public information should be reported promptly to OLA in one section of the Justice Manual, which says that the same member of Congress or staff, or different members of Congress or staff, should be notified. Please contact OLA if you are uncertain whether certain information should be released or whether certain assistance should be provided."
