Grassley and Feinstein are asking the FBI and Justice Department to respond to their letter by 5 p.m. Friday so they can set a date.

In addition to updating the full committee, the two senators noted they want to use the briefing to follow up on Comey's testimony from earlier this month.

Grassley and Feinstein noted that Rosenstein met with the two leaders of the Intelligence Committee and that it's "important that the members of this Committee receive the same information."

President Trump fired Comey on Tuesday, at the time citing a letter from Rosenstein critical of Comey's handling of the Clinton investigation. Trump has since said he planned to fire Comey regardless of Rosenstein's opinion.
