House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said in a statement Monday that the committee will hold a vote on authorizing subpoenas of the full Mueller report and its underlying evidence Wednesday.

Nadler also said that the committee will vote on issuing subpoenas to five people who used to be in Trump’s orbit and have some knowledge of the report: former White House counsel Donald McGahn, former White House chief strategist Steven Bannon, former White House communications director Hope Hicks, former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and former Trump lawyer Ann Donaldson.

“As I have made clear, Congress requires the full and complete Special Counsel report, without redactions, as well as access to the underlying evidence. Attorney General Barr has thus far indicated he will not meet the April 2 deadline set by myself and five other Committee chairs, and refused to work with us to provide the full report, without redactions, to Congress,” Nadler wrote. “The Attorney General should reconsider so that we can work together to ensure the maximum transparency of this important report to both Congress and the American people. The full and complete report must be released to Congress without delay.”

    Why the hurry?

  3. This current crop of Democratic officials appear to have grown a backbone after years of wandering in the flip flop appeasement desert. Thank goodness!
