WASHINGTON: The House Judiciary Committee authorised a subpoena Wednesday for the full Russia investigation report, setting up a high-stakes legal battle over secret testimony that could be damaging to President Donald Trump.
“We are going to work with the attorney general for a short period of time in the hopes that he will reveal to us the entire report and the underlying materials,” said Democratic committee chairman Jerry Nadler.Barr last week told Congress he was prepared to hand over the Mueller report by mid-April, but one stripped of the extensive grand jury interviews and subpoenaed material; materials collected by intelligence sources; and evidence related to other investigations and third parties.
The Democrat-controlled committee voted to authorise one subpoena for the full report and underlying evidence, and separately to subpoena five former Trump aides, including strategist Steve Bannon, lawyer Don McGahn, and chief of staff Reince Priebus.“We are not willing to let the attorney general, who after all is a political appointee of the president, substitute his judgement for ours.”
In Barr’s March 24 four-page summary of Mueller’s conclusions, he said there was no evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government to skew the 2016 presidential election in Trump’s favour.
