In an effort to continue his smear of the Trump administration and Trump campaign officials, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler vowed to subpoena grand jury material in Robert Mueller's Special Counsel report Wednesday morning.
"The Mueller report probably isn’t the 'total exoneration' the President claims it to be," Nadler said at the opening of a Committee hearing. "The Attorney General proposes to redact four categories of information from the Mueller report: grand jury information, classified information, information related to ongoing prosecutions, and “information that may unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties.†The Department is wrong to try to withhold that information from this Committee. Congress is entitled to all of the evidence. "
Grand jury information has a long precedent of being protected in order to ensure proper due process for the accused. With the law on his side, Attorney General Bill Barr is unlikely to comply with the subpoena for grand jury information.
Back in the 1990s, Nadler had a different view on releasing this kind of confidential material. Now that Republican President Trump is in office, with Democrats desperately attempting to take back power, he's changed his mind.
