William Barr promised members of Congress a less-redacted version of the Mueller report. One Democrat says it still hasn’t arrived.
House Democrats want to see special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report, and they don’t plan to settle for the redacted version released to Congress andthe public by Attorney General William Barr.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said Thursday he will issue a subpoena to get the Mueller report in its entirety. Nadler was supposed to be among the select number of senior House and Senate Committee members who Barr promisedwould receive nearly full access to Mueller’s report, minus information from the grand jury. But Nadler said it hadn’t even been made available to him as of Thursday afternoon.
“Contrary to public reports, I have not heard from the Department about receiving a less-redacted version of the report,” Nadler said in a statement. “Because Congress requires this material in order to perform our constitutionally-mandated responsibilities, I will issue a subpoena for the full report and the underlying materials.”
There are four kinds of information Barr has said could be redacted from the report: information that could expose “peripheral third parties,” details that could “compromise sources and methods” used to compile the Mueller report, material from the grand jury, and details about ongoing investigations.
