Rep. Jerry Nadler is giving the DOJ until 9 a.m. Monday to comply with his adjusted request before moving forward to hold AG William Barr in contempt of Congress
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler is making what he calls a final “counter offer” to Attorney General William Barr’s refusal to grant immediate access to the underlying evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
Democrats have said they’re trying to show that they’re engaging in good-faith negotiations with Barr before rushing to take punitive actions — like holding him in contempt or fighting Barr in court. As part of his new offer, Nadler is asking the Justice Department to allow more members of Congress to immediately view a less-redacted version of Mueller’s report. The chairman is also asking Barr to join Congress to seek a court order granting lawmakers access to grand-jury material that Barr has blocked from public view.
