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.
"It's grand jury material. It represents statements which may or may not be true by various witnesses, salacious material. All kinds of material that it would be unfair to release."
"As we have discussed, I share you desire to ensure that Congress and the public have the opportunity to read the Special Counsel's report. We are preparing the report for release, making the redactions that are required. The Special Counsel is assisting us with this process," Barr wrote in a letter to Nadler and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham last week.
"Our progress is such that I anticipate we will be in a position to released the report by mid-April, if not sooner. Although the President would have the right to assert executive privilege over certain parts of the report, he has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me and, accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review."
According to the letter, "(1) material subject to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6 that by law cannot be made public; material the intelligence community identifies as potentially compromising sensitive sources and methods; material that could affect other ongoing matters, including those that the Special Counsel has referred to other Department offices; and information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties" will not be released.
