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. "We need the entire report unredacted, and the underlying documents, in order to make informed decisions."ABC News' Jack Date contributed to this report.

Gonna need everything from Obamas 8 years first .

Don’t worry dims, jerry is on the way!

Where is the oversite that gets all of congress to do their job. Is this the face of our future?

POLITICAL STUNT, When will the 'NEWS' call these demRAT fools out

I think RepJerryNadler is still feeling the butt hurt that RealCandaceO gave him. 😂

There is video of him in the past strongly defending exactly what he himself is now trying to do.

Leave it go Jerry there's nothing there you're only going to embarrass yourself

The report is just that Mueller’s report – we need an unbiased panel to do their own investigation!

“grapple with their duties of legislation” excuse me exactly what “legislation” has been proposed much less enacted? 100 days in office all they can do is INVESTIGATE.....can’t get past their loss in 2016...gonna hate life when they give back the House in 2020!

Nadler is a corrupt con the media puts up on a pedestal. Never asks him why he lies.

😂😂😂😂!

It would be news if he didn't do this. Yawner

Democrats along with the media after hearing no collusion/obstruction from AG Barr!!

Jerrys hatred for trump is clouding his judgment. He is just wasting taxpayer money and hurting Democrats in 2020 they haven't got anything done since they took over the house... Embarrassing

How about he stops asking Barr to break the law? That sounds reasonable to me...

Not a surprise that once again, Dems ignore the law to further political goals. Nadler knows why it was redacted, knows it was required by law, and still says FU to following the law. It’s painfully obvious just how corrupt the democrats have become in their fight against Trump

Federal law, 28 CFR § 45.2, states: “No employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with: (1) Any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation.

This is just sad at this point.
