DOJ: Dem subpoena for Mueller report is 'premature and unnecessary'

The Justice Department on Friday said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler's (D-N.Y.) decision to issue a subpoena for special counsel Robert Mueller's full report is "premature and unnecessary."

Kerri Kupec, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said in an emailed statement that Attorney General William Barr had released Mueller's report with only "minimal redactions," and that he already made arrangements for Nadler and other lawmakers to review a version with fewer redactions.

"In light of this, Congressman Nadler's subpoena is premature and unnecessary," Kupec said. "The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests."
Nadler issued a subpoena Friday morning to force the Justice Department to turn over Mueller's full report, as well as the underlying evidence. He set a May 1 deadline for the department to comply.

Nadler said in a statement that he is "open to working with the Department to reach a reasonable accommodation for access to these materials" but described Barr's proposal to allow a select group of lawmakers to view the less-redacted version of Mueller's report as unacceptable.

to do the investigations now... can't count on the DOJ. Mueller gave them a step by step manual on how to go about it.
