The House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jerry Nadler will vote on Wednesday to authorize subpoenas for a full, unredacted copy of the nearly 400 page Mueller report, according to CNN and the Wall Street Journal.
Nadler said Monday that he had scheduled a markup on Wednesday to authorize a subpoena for the Mueller report, as well as the special counsel's underlying evidence.

Nadler's committee will also vote on whether to issue subpoenas for five former White House staffers; Steve Bannon, Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus, Don McGahn and Ann Donaldson - who Nadler claims may have received documents from the White House connected to the Mueller probe that would waive executive privilege.
On Friday, Barr sent Nadler and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham a letter notifying them that he was working with Mueller to redact sensitive information which could affect ongoing matters - including grand jury material, information that would infringe on someone's personal privacy or information which could compromise the DOJ's sources and methods of investigation, and that the redacted report would be ready by mid-April "If not sooner."
This wasn't good enough for Nadler, who responded "As I informed the Attorney General.Congress requires the full and complete Mueller report, without redactions, as well as access to the underlying evidence, by April 2. That deadline still stands."
"We have an obligation to read the full report, and the Department of Justice has an obligation to provide it, in its entirely, without delay. If the department is unwilling to produce the full report voluntarily, then we will do everything in our power to secure it for ourselves," wrote Nadler in a New York Times op-ed published Monday.
Top House Judiciary Republican Georgia Rep. Doug Collins has accused Nadler of trying to force Barr to "Break the law by releasing the report without redactions."
