There was an earlier letter sent to the House and here is Page 1.

Chairman Mike Turner
House Permanent Selection Committee on Intelligence United States Capitol
HVC-304
Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman Turner:

Timothy C. Parlatore, Esq.

We represent President Trump and are writing to provide information regarding the probe by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) into the post-Presidency handling of classified documents. We understand that DOJ is making the documents marked classified available for your review, and this letter provides the Committee with information that we suspect DOJ has not disclosed to it.

It has become abundantly clear through this investigation that the institutional practice and procedures within the White House for the handling of classified materials drastically differ from the long-established standard operating procedures employed by various agencies of the intelligence community as well as the U.S. military. As demonstrated by the discovery of documents with classification markings1 in the homes of President Trump, President Biden, and Vice President Pence, deficient document handling and storage procedures are not limited to any individual, administration, or political party. A legislative solution by Congress is required to prevent the DOJ from continuing to conduct ham-handed criminal investigations of matters that are inherently not criminal.

So it seems to me that the letter to the House and one yesterday to AG Garland is not to elicit any response, but simply to once gain establish that Trump is being unfairly targeted and allows to claim "Witch Hunt" on every campaign stop. Only way to shut him up is to indict the SOB.
