The Justice Department has agreed to deliver 12 categories of underlying counterintelligence documents from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation to the House Intelligence Committee.
"DOJ has accepted our offer, and will begin turning over to the Committee twelve categories of counterintelligence and foreign intelligence materials beginning this week. Our subpoena will remain in effect, and be enforced should DOJ fail to comply with the full document request," Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Wednesday morning.
Schiff also postponed a business meeting Wednesday in which members were set to take "enforcement action."
The House Intelligence Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department on May 8 for Mueller's full report and counterintelligence materials with a deadline of May 15.
Under threat of yet another contempt vote or other punishment against Attorney General William Barr, the Justice Department threatened on Tuesday to cut off negotiations with the panel. The agency had also offered to allow members of both the House and Senate intelligence panels to view a less-redacted version of Mueller's report without grand jury information.
