Justice Department opens probe into Planned Parenthood's fetal tissue practices

The Trump administration has opened up an investigation into Planned Parenthood’s fetal tissue practices.

The Justice Department sent a letter, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday requesting unredacted versions of documents from the panel’s 2016 investigation into the group.

The letter states that Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, provided the agency with a redacted version of the report from the panel’s investigation in April 2017 and said that if they wanted to further investigate the issue they needed to formally contact the committee in writing.

Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd pursued the committee’s request, formally asking Grassley and ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Thursday for the documents for investigative purposes and not for a formal legal proceeding, which he notes would need a Senate resolution.
