U.S. House Judiciary chief sets Monday deadline for full Mueller report

WASHINGTON - U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler gave Attorney General William Barr until Monday morning to give lawmakers access to the full, unredacted version of U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on his Russia probe.
Nadler informed Barr of the 9 a.m. (1300 GMT) Monday deadline in a letter on Friday after the attorney general failed to show up at a House of Representatives Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for Thursday.
"In refusing to comply with congressional oversight requests, the department has repeatedly asserted that Congress's requests do not serve 'legitimate' purposes," Nadler said in the letter.
"This is not the department's judgment to make," he added. "Congress's constitutional, oversight and legislative interest in investigating misconduct by the president and his associates cannot be disputed."
