The FBI on Monday produced the first tranche of subpoenaed documents that the House Judiciary Committee requested from the Biden administration, which were turned in one week ahead of the committee's deadline.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed the FBI for the information and documents last month. The committee also subpoenaed the bureau for the documents during the 118th Congress, but Jordan claimed former FBI Director Christopher Wray failed to produce the necessary material. 

The first batch of documents included information pertaining to the FBI’s inquiries into threats to school administrators, the pipe bombs discovered near the Republican and Democratic national headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021, and the bureau's interactions with social media companies about alleged interference in the 2020 election, the Washington Examiner reported.

“As a sign of good faith, we are providing this initial production more than a week ahead of the Committee’s subpoena deadline,” FBI Assistant Director Marshall Yates told Jordan.

He added that the documents were “phase 1” of the subpoenaed documents, and that the release was a sign it was “restoring trust” in the FBI.

House Judiciary spokesman Russell Dye confirmed the documents to the Washington Examiner, which included new material, and promised to have an update "soon."
