House committee votes to authorize subpoenas to obtain Mueller’s full report into Russian interference in 2016 election
By Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow April 3 at 10:27 AM A House panel voted Wednesday to authorize subpoenas to obtain special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s full report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, laying down a marker in a constitutional power struggle that could end up in the courts.
The much-anticipated move to compel the Justice Department to release the report comes one day after Barr missed a House-imposed deadline to turn over the nearly 400-page document. Barr told lawmakers last week that while he could not meet their Tuesday deadline, he promised to deliver a redacted version of Mueller’s findings by mid-April, if not sooner.
Trump and his GOP allies have argued that Mueller’s findings amounted to “a complete and total exoneration” for him. But Democrats argue that Barr, a Trump appointee, is hardly a neutral observer and is protecting the president. And some Democrats worry the nationwide focus on their efforts probing Trump is drowning out their legislative message, which they deem vital to maintaining their majority in 2020 and defeating Trump in the election.
