The House Judiciary Committee is set to vote Wednesday to authorize a subpoena for an unredacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report, along with all of the evidence from the two-year investigation.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> The vote on the resolution, which is expected to pass the Democrat-led panel following a markup hearing Wednesday morning, marks the strongest push yet on Capitol Hill to obtain the long-awaited report on the special counsel's probe of Russian election interference in the 2016 presidential election, as well as possible Trump-campaign collusion and obstruction of justice.
"This Committee requires the full report and the underlying materials because it is our job, not the attorney general's, to determine whether or not President Trump has abused his office." Those potentially blacked-out sections of the report include grand jury-related information, as well as information that could reveal U.S. sources and methods or confidential details about ongoing investigations, Barr said.
Barr, in a letter to members of Congress on Friday, had also assured Congress that the White House had no plans to exert executive privilege to review the report before it was shared with other parties or the public.
