JUST IN: House Judiciary chair issues subpoena for full, unredacted Mueller report—setting up potential legal battle with the Justice Department for the special counsel's full findings and underlying materials.
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has issued a subpoena for the full, unredacted Mueller report, setting up a potential legal battle with the Justice Department for the special counsel's full findings and underlying materials., asked for the department to comply by May 1, the day U.S. Attorney General William Barr is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and one day before he is scheduled to appear before the House.
"I am open to working with the Department to reach a reasonable accommodation for access to these materials, however I cannot accept any proposal which leaves most of Congress in the dark, as they grapple with their duties of legislation, oversight and constitutional accountability," Nadler said in a statement.
Nadler teased the subpoena action to get the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller's 22-month investigation on "Good Morning America" Friday. "That subpoena will come in the next couple of hours," Nadler said.
