Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy just kicked off a hearing on the Justice Department torture memo report, and he immediately raised the question of John Yoo's missing e-mails.

"My first question will be, where are Mr. Yoo's emails?" Leahy said, promising to pose the question to Acting Deputy Attorney General Gary Grindler.

Grindler is the sole witness at the hearing this morning. Leahy added that the DOJ is required by law to retain the e-mails.

As we noted earlier today, a government watchdog group and the editorial board of the New York Times have called on the DOJ to probe the missing e-mails.
