NEW: We obtained records related to Assistant AG Brian Benczkowski, who previously represented the Russian entity Alfa Bank, that show he's been recused from the Mueller investigation: americanoversight.org/assistant-atto…
Acting AG Matthew Whitaker isn't the only DOJ appointee to draw scrutiny from Congress and watchdog groups — we've also been looking into Benczkowski's ethics determinations and conflicts of interest.
We submitted a FOIA to find out more about Benczkowski's ties to Alfa Bank, which is owned by oligarchs connected to the Russian government: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
We obtained communications between the DOJ and senators indicating that Benczkowski had been screened off from Mueller's investigation: documentcloud.org/documents/5433…
We also uncovered Benczkowski’s ethics compliance form, which indicates he received authorization to participate in certain matters related to a "former client." Senate Democrats have requested more information: americanoversight.org/assistant-atto…
We continue to investigate Whitaker's financial and political conflicts of interest as well. We're asking for his recusals and ethics determinations, as well as any communications with the White House about the Mueller investigation: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
