It is the latest effort by President Trump and his allies to impugn the Russia investigation, which the president sees as having been a partisan witch hunt.
The premise of the new inquiry is that classified documents related to the Russia investigation were mishandled at F.B.I. headquarters in downtown Washington, where the director and his senior aides work.
Edward R. Martin Jr.’s conduct is part of a pattern in which top administration officials try to use the vast powers of the government to cast the specter of criminality on President Trump’s enemies.
Edward R. Martin Jr. has said that if he is unable to successfully obtain indictments against the targets of his inquiries, he will name and shame them.
