"The cases are unprecedented in scale and is expected to be among the most complex investigations prosecuted by the Department of Justice," the DOJ wrote to Congress, NBC News reported.

While the message is yet to truly take hold with lawmakers, according to the report, the added funding would have to come in December's spending bill when the Continue Resolution to fund the government expires.
