551 17. Department of Justice

“Similarly, the FBI does not need its own Office of Congressional Affairs separate and apart from the DOJ Office of Legislative Affairs, nor does it need its own Office of Public Affairs.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    The FBI still has its own Office of Congressional Affairs and Office of Public Affairs. Searched the Federal Register Corpus for every Justice Department rule and proposed rule in the window (all 28 CFR part 0 organizational amendments among them), the whitehouse.gov presidential-actions Corpus, all 2,087 Justice Department headquarters press releases fetched from the department's own press API for the window, and the FBI's national press-release feed. No abolition, merger or transfer of either office into the Justice Department's Office of Legislative Affairs or Office of Public Affairs appears anywhere on the record.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
