What this amendment would do

SA 4496, submitted by Mr. Schiff, aims to add a section to bill S. 1383 regarding public notice for closing criminal investigations.

The purpose of this amendment is to require the Attorney General to provide public notice when the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Department of Justice closes an open criminal investigation into an executive branch political appointee.

The required notice must include:

  • The dates the investigation opened and closed.
  • If the political appointee is still employed by the Federal Government.
  • If any disciplinary action happened because of the investigation.
