Move the FBI out from under the Deputy Attorney General
What the document says“remove the FBI from the Deputy Attorney General’s direct supervision”
The chapter proposes placing the FBI under the general supervision of the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, says this can be done through a simple internal reorganization without Congress, and that under no circumstances should the FBI be able to go around the Attorney General or the department's leadership on any matter in its area of responsibility.
What the document actually says“remove the FBI from the Deputy Attorney General’s direct supervision”
Take the FBI out from under the number two at the department.
The FBI answers to the number two at the Justice Department. The book says it should answer to a different official. That would put it under closer watch.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. No indexed document changes where the FBI sits in the Justice Department. Executive Order 14147 of January 20, 2025 is the nearest, and it orders a review and a report on past federal enforcement activity rather than a reorganization. Nothing indexed removes the FBI from the Deputy Attorney General's supervision or places it under the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division. 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.
