ATTORNEY GENERAL/HOUSE OF REPS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced on Thursday [5-16-19] that the panel will consider an ‘enforcement action’ against Attorney General William Barr next week for defying the chairman’s subpoena for special counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted report and its supporting intelligence materials. Schiff’s announcement came a day after the Justice Department put a counteroffer on the table as it negotiates with the panel for lawmakers’ access to the full report, according to a letter obtained by POLITICO. The committee sent the Justice Department 12 requests for specific foreign intelligence and counterintelligence documents related to the Mueller investigation, Schiff told reporters Thursday evening. But ‘the deadline came and went without the production of a single document,’ Schiff added, ‘raising profound questions about whether the department has any intention to honor its legal obligations.’”
