DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote on Wednesday [4-3-19] to authorize a subpoena that Democrats can use to try to force the Justice Department to hand over an unredacted copy of the special counsel’s report and underlying evidence. The move on Monday [4-1-19] by Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, the committee’s chairman, made clear that Democrats are not satisfied with Attorney General William P. Barr’s assurances on Friday [3-29-19] that he will produce a full, albeit redacted, copy of the nearly 400-page report to Congress by mid-April…The committee’s announcement came a day ahead of a deadline set by Mr. Nadler and five other House committee leaders for Mr. Barr to voluntarily hand over the material collected by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. Mr. Barr appeared all but certain to miss it. The urgency among Democrats came, in part, because they mistrust Mr. Barr’s assessment of the report in a four-page letter he sent to Congress late last month.”
