The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department Thursday for records connected to the FBI’s 2016 investigation of Hillary Clinton — as well as the internal report that led to the ouster of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.

Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) revealed the subpoenas Thursday afternoon, citing a frustratingly slow pace of cooperation from the department.

“Given the Department’s ongoing delays in producing these documents, I am left with no choice but to issue the enclosed subpoena to compel production of these documents,” Goodlatte wrote in a letter to DOJ.

It's the latest signal of escalating tension between GOP lawmakers and the Justice Department, which have clashed in recent weeks over the release of a House Intelligence Committee memo accusing top FBI officials of misconduct and sparred over access to sensitive intelligence documents.
