Committee may seek full Mueller report
Print Edition
The Democrat-led US House Judiciary Committee said it will vote tomorrow on whether to authorize subpoenas to obtain Special Counsel Robert Mueller鈥檚 full report investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Lawmakers will also consider subpoenas for underlying evidence from Mueller鈥檚 investigation and from five former aides to President Donald Trump, including White House counsel Donald McGahn and political adviser Steve Bannon. The committee said yesterday they may have documents related to the Mueller probe.
Democrats have become increasingly frustrated over Attorney General William Barr鈥檚 plan to share only a redacted copy of the nearly 400-page report with Congress.
The committee will vote on a resolution to allow House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler to issue subpoenas at his own discretion.
Trump and the White House have hailed the report as a victory. But Democrats have taken issue with Barr鈥檚 intervention.
鈥淐ongress, not the attorney general, has a duty under the constitution to determine whether wrongdoing has occurred,鈥 Nadler wrote in the New York Times yesterday. 鈥淚t is not the attorney general鈥檚 job to step in and substitute his judgment for the special counsel鈥檚. That responsibility falls to Congress 鈥 and specifically to the House Judiciary Committee 鈥 as it has in every similar investigation in modern history.鈥
A week ago, Nadler and the Democratic heads of five other House committees gave Barr until today to provide the full Mueller report and underlying evidence.
