The DOJ rebuffed much of Jordan\u2019s request, arguing it could not share \u201cnon-public information about an ongoing criminal investigation and prosecution by a Special Counsel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cProtecting the confidentiality of non-public information regarding investigations and prosecutions preserves the American people\u2019s confidence in the evenhanded administration of justice by guarding against the appearance of political pressure or other improper attempts to influence Department decisions,\u201d Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte wrote in a letter to Jordan on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan also requested information about which personnel was assigned to the case in an attempt to understand the scope of the Mar-a-Lago search last August. However, the department did provide limited information about special counsel Jack Smith\u2019s investigation into the former president, telling Jordan \u201capproximately 26 Special Agents\u201d have worked \u201ceither full or part-time \u2026 in some capacity\u201d up until March of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the department outlined the official orders appointing Smith and Robert Hur to lead the investigations into the classified documents found at President Joe Biden\u2019s personal residence and office building.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jordan\u2019s request followed the release of the highly anticipated Durham Report, an examination of the FBI\u2019s investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
