In this section: The term appropriate congressional committees means— the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives; and if an investigation relates to intelligence or counterintelligence matters, the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives. The term covered offense means— an offense against the United States that arises from an investigation in which the President, or a relative of the President, is a target or subject; an offense under section 102 of the Revised Statutes of the United States ( 2 U.S.C. 192 ); or an offense under section 1001, 1505, 1512, or 1621 of title 18, United States Code, if the offense occurred in relation to a Congressional proceeding or investigation.
The term pardon includes a commutation of sentence. The term relative has the meaning given that term in section 3110 of title 5, United States Code. If the President grants an individual a pardon for a covered offense, not later than 30 days after the date of such pardon the Attorney General shall submit to the chairpersons and ranking members of the appropriate congressional committees— all materials obtained or produced by the prosecution team, including the Attorney General and any United States Attorney, and all materials obtained or prepared by any investigative agency of the United States government, relating to the offense for which the individual was so pardoned; and all materials obtained or produced by the Department of Justice in relation to the pardon.
