Reexamine the limits on White House contact with the Justice Department
What the document says“The next Administration should reexamine this policy and determine whether it might be more efficient or more appropriate for communication to occur through additional channels.”
The chapter describes the traditional practice by which the White House Counsel and the Attorney General each issue a memo restricting contact between the White House and the Justice Department to the Counsel's office and the Attorney General or Deputy Attorney General. It says the next Administration should reexamine that policy and decide whether communication through additional channels would be better. The chapter proposes no replacement policy.
What the document actually says“The next Administration should reexamine this policy and determine whether it might be more efficient or more appropriate for communication to occur through additional channels.”
The next president should look at this rule again. He should decide whether it is better to allow more ways to talk.
There is a long-standing rule about the White House and the Justice Department. Only a few named people are allowed to talk to each other. This is meant to keep politics out of legal cases. The chapter says the next president should look at that rule again. It does not say what should replace it.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. None of the candidates concerns communication between the White House and the Justice Department. The contact policy the passage describes is set by internal memoranda from the Counsel to the President and the Attorney General, which are not published in the Federal Register, so a change would not necessarily appear in the record indexed here. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
