Is the FBI investigating Planned Parenthood’s aborted body parts criminal referrals? Senators want to know.

Two U.S. senators are asking authorities for an update to a previous Judiciary Committee investigation, which issued criminal referrals for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and several affiliates and organizations connected to the sale of the body parts of aborted children. A press release issued by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) this week states that he and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) “sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray following up on Grassley’s 2016 referral of eight organizations for investigation and potential prosecution for the alleged sale of human fetal tissue following a 2016 Grassley-led Committee investigation.” Grassley was the former Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman at the time of the hearings and states that in June, the FBI confirmed to the Committee they had received the referrals...

...“Preventing the illegal sale of human fetal tissue remains a priority for the Committee,” the Senators emphasized in this week’s letter, which asks that the FBI and DOJ answer the following questions no later than July 2, 2019:

• Has the FBI taken any action on the criminal referrals submitted by then-Chairman Grassley?
• If the FBI has taken action, please provide an update to the Committee.
• If the FBI has not taken action, please explain the justification for not doing so.
• Are there any other investigative updates related to this matter that the FBI can share with the Committee at this time?
