House Panel Votes To Authorize Subpoena For Mueller Report
BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee reportedly voted to authorize a subpoena compelling William Barr to hand over the Mueller report.
WASHINGTON, DC — The House Judiciary Committee has reportedly voted to authorize a subpoena compelling Attorney General William Barr to hand over special counsel Robert Mueller's full — and unredacted — report. Jerrold Nadler the panel's chairman, said he would not immediately issue the subpoena, The New York Times reported.
"I will give him time to change his mind," Mr. Nadler said in a statement. "But if we cannot reach an accommodation, then we will have no choice but to issue subpoenas for these materials."
The vote was along party lines. The Times reported that the panel also signed off on subpoenas for five former White House aides: former White House counsel Don McGahn II, Trump's former chief strategist Stephen Bannon, former White House communications director Hope Hicks, Trump's former chief of staff Reince Priebus, and McGahn deputy Annie Donaldson.
