The House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday voted give special counsel Robert Mueller transcripts from dozens of witness interviews from the panel’s Russia probe.
The move will provide Mueller with roughly 50 transcripts of committee interviews as he continues to investigate Russian interference and potential coordination between President Trump’s campaign and Moscow.
“That includes transcripts that the special counsel and Justice Department have not had access to and a great many that they have, but have not been allowed to use for particular purposes including in prosecutions for false statements, obstruction, or perjury or any other like offense,†Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told reporters on Wednesday.
“The special counsel’s office will now have access to those transcripts for any purpose which will facilitate justice,†he added.
