The head of the House Judiciary Committee on Monday announced that his panel had reached an agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to obtain key underlying evidence from the Mueller report, staving off an imminent court battle over access to the files.
Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a statement he will “hold the criminal contempt process in abeyance for now†amid the DOJ’s cooperation, noting that lawmakers will be able to begin reviewing the first of these documents later Monday.
“All members of the Judiciary Committee — Democrats and Republicans alike — will be able to view them,†Nadler said in a statement.
The full House is still expected to vote Tuesday on a resolution that would authorize Nadler to go to court to enforce the subpoena issued to Attorney General William Barr for Mueller's full report and underlying evidence.
