John Rose released the following statement:\n\n\u201cThe FBI took an unacceptable length of time - five months - to answer my letter relating to the horrible Covenant School shootings, and the nine-sentence reply was neither comprehensive in nature nor responsive to my questions in any substantive way. Such a response is insulting to my constituents and completely unhelpful to anyone personally connected with the shooting tragedy and in need of answers,\u201d said Rep. Rose. \u201cAs a Member of Congress, it is my duty to ask our taxpayer-funded federal authorities like the FBI tough questions on behalf of the people of Tennessee whom I represent. But it is also their duty to make a good faith effort to adequately respond to such queries, and in this case, the FBI failed miserably.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nOn April 26, 2022, Rep. Rose sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting that the materials seized in relation to the Covenant School shooting be released without delay. If that was not possible, Rep. Rose requested a written explanation and timeline as to when this information could be released.\n\nRead Rep. Rose\u2019s full letter here.\n\nOn October 13, 2022, more than five months after receiving Rep. Rose\u2019s letter, the FBI\u2019s Office of Congressional Affairs responded, \u201cWe apologize for our delay\u2026 The FBI would therefore respectfully refer you to the MNPD.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://johnrose.house.gov/media/press-releases/us-rep-rose-slams-fbi-no-response-covenant-inquiry"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.2196960635483265, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
