House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Friday morning that the committee would issue a subpoena for the entire unredacted Mueller report "in the next couple of hours."
The demand reinforced a sense of dissatisfaction from House Democrats with the Trump administration's suggestion that the report is a closed matter.
On ABC's "Good Morning America," Nadler told George Stephanopoulos his committee would demand access to the full report, which, while it did not establish a criminal conspiracy between President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, also did not exonerate the president of potential obstruction of justice.
Attorney General William Barr, Nadler said, "misled the country" when he held a press conference focusing largely on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's findings regarding collusion.
"We have to hear from Mueller," Nadler said. "We need the entire report, unredacted, and the underlying documents in order to make informed decisions...and we will subpoena that entire report today."

The New York Democrat wants the full report in his committee's possession by May 1, the day before Barr is expected to testify before the Judiciary Committee.

The impending subpoena will begin just the latest investigation by Democrats into allegations against Trump. Nadler's committee is also seeking documents from more than 80 individuals linked to the Mueller probe, while the House Intelligence Committee is examining potential money laundering connected with Russian interference with the 2016 election, and has also called Mueller to testify by the end of May.
"We want to make sure the Department of Justice doesn't hide behind the Gang of Eight or anything else to try to prevent the American people from seeing this evidence," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said on "The Rachel Maddow Show" Thursday night.
"At the end of the day when you read this lengthy report you learn that the president has repeatedly misled the country, he's urged others to mislead the country," added Schiff. "All of this is damning and we all ought to expect more from our president than merely the protestration that he's not a crook."
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support.
