[C]ertain decisions made and not made by the Department of Justice and FBI in 2016 and 2017 ... including but not limited to evidence of bias by any employee or agent of the DOJ, FBI, or other agencies involved in the investigation; the decisions to charge or not charge and whether those decisions were made consistent with the applicable facts, the applicable law, and traditional investigative and prosecutorial policies and procedures; and whether the FISA process employed in the fall of 2016 was appropriate and devoid of external influences[.]

Two of the most important committee chairmen in the House of Representatives, Bob Goodlatte of the House Judiciary Committee and Trey Gowdy of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, have sent a public letter to A.G. Jeff Sessions and Deputy A.G. Rod Rosenstein, requesting appointment of a new special counsel. The charter would include:
