By Ellen Nakashima Ellen Nakashima National security reporter Email Bio Follow May 3 at 12:07 PM The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has given Attorney General William P. Barr one last shot to accommodate lawmakers seeking access to a more complete version of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report before beginning contempt proceedings.
“The committee is prepared to make every realistic effort to reach an accommodation with the department,” Nadler wrote. “But if the department persists in its baseless refusal to comply with a validly issued subpoena, the committee will move to contempt proceedings and seek further legal recourse.” In a March 27 letter that surfaced this week Mueller complained to Barr that his four-page memo summarizing the report “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the special counsel’s work.
In his letter to Barr, Nadler said the Justice Department “has never explained why it is willing to allow only a small number of members to view a less-redacted version of the report, subject to the condition that they cannot discuss what they have seen with anyone else.” Finally, the committee Democrats want “a defined set” of investigative material, including witness interviews — known as “302s” — and contemporaneous notes taken by witnesses of relevant events. “Since these materials are publicly cited and described in the Mueller report, there can be no question about the committee’s need for and right to” the evidence to evaluate the facts Mueller established, Nadler wrote.
Whoooo, Scary!!!
I don't think he will comply, and the President in all his glory will stop his tesitmony.
Will not faze Barr
The show will be over soon.
They have access.
Only 3 people have looked at it. It is there they refuse
Lock him up
They put every weapon they have in that Mueller report, in Trump-Russia collusion, and they are slowly awakening to the fact that it has bombed out on them. You can see it in the headlines all over the place. - Rush MAGA2020 realDonaldTrump BarrTooHigh BarrHearing
Redacted for legal reasons?
Correct me if. I’m wrong but don’t they have that it’s just in a classified room. They have decided not to read yet
They have access. The grand jury stuff he does not have to give them by law.
Its already in the public realm!
It’s as though Barr is being ravaged by a dead sheep.
Zzzzzzzzzz
Magaji_1 Wow really!
95% of report released .. except 6E grand jury testimony. .. which all lawmakers can see in private ... but libs decined to see ... NADLER THE CLOWN
It truly amazes me that the people that are incharge of this country are trying to hide stuff that the american people should know .Whats being hidden and why . If i did half of whats being charged i'd be in jail. Whats worse selling pot or selling out your counrty!
They already have it? Freaking kidding me!! You at the paper is only a propaganda for the Dems, plain and simple!!
This
Mueller report is available now.
👇CHECK THIS OUT👇RETW.🔁
Nadler has the same access to the Mueller report as everyone. Google it RepJerryNadler, you'll find it.
I’m so ashamed of us
Kinda like a bunch of impudent teens trying to tell Dad what he must do. What a bunch of Democratic clowns. This is so much fun!!
The report is available. Parts are redacted for security reasons. What’s the issue?
Is the POTUS subject to the UCMJ
That letter went directly into the trash w/ the rest.
It's there for them to see but not one democrat has taken the time to view it. Explain that WAPO
Hows that Covington lawsuit
RepJerryNadler Why don't you guys stop 'moving toward' and 'considering' and 'woulda, coulda, shoulda-ing' and DO SOMETHING? I can't believe y'all haven't figured out that NO ONE IS GOING TO COOPERATE, ENFORCE or LISTEN TO YOU on Trump's side. If you've got leverage, us it now.
Dumbo Democrats. Congress already has it. There is nothing in it for them to impeach. So, All they are asking is be able to discuss trumps finances for 2020.
It’s quicker to ask the GRU for a copy.
BREAKING: The New York Times admits what we have known all along... the FBI SPYED ON TRUMP sending an investigator posing as an assistant to meet with George Papadopoulos in 2016. Boom...mic drop Indictments coming ...
😆 they already received everything they are lawfully entitled to
What the brouhaha about Mueller & his biased and inadequately-researched report? Trump was not cross-examined. Baffling
He already said he'd give full access of the entire report to a limited number of congress if it were viewed in a secure facility. The redacted Mueller report is only 5% redacted. Clown Show.
Just because the GOP haven't bothered to read the Mueller Report doesn't mean that the Dems shouldn't be allowed to read
Its like Barr is being ravaged by a dead sheep.
They have 438 pages. If they want redacted Grand Jury testimony ‘ go to court’.
AG Barr already provided access to the full Mueller Report to anyone with proper security clearance, which includes many Democrats. However, only 2 GOP members of Congress have bothered to read it, which proves, again, that Democrats are lying and engaging in political stunts.
Good. Monday is a great deadline. Better to start a news cycle with contempt than to end one.
