State Department says it won't turn over more Bolton documents

"I don't think we're stiffing anybody here," State Department spokesman Tom Casey said. "What we're doing is providing all of the information that's required that's relevant to the investigation," Casey said. "We feel we've given all of the information that's required under those circumstances."
Separately, a top intelligence officer prepared to brief several lawmakers about the embattled nominee's requests for the names of U.S. officials whose communications were picked up by the secret National Security Agency.
Both Democrats and Republicans have sought details about Bolton's pursuit of the NSA information.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to vote Thursday on Bolton's nomination.
