Washington, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) issued a subpoena for the full Mueller report and underlying evidence related to the Special Counsel's investigation.

Below is a statement from Chairman Nadler, and a copy of the subpoena can be found here:

“I have issued a subpoena to the Department of Justice for the full version of the Mueller report and the underlying evidence.The Department is required to comply with that subpoena by May 1.

“I am open to working with the Department to reach a reasonable accommodation for access to these materials, however I cannot accept any proposal which leaves most of Congress in the dark, as they grapple with their duties of legislation, oversight and constitutional accountability.

“My Committee needs and is entitled to the full version of the report and the underlying evidence consistent with past practice. The redactions appear to be significant. We have so far seen none of the actual evidence that the Special Counsel developed to make this case. Even the redacted version of the report outlines serious instances of wrongdoing by President Trump and some of his closest associates. It now falls to Congress to determine the full scope of that alleged misconduct and to decide what steps we must take going forward.”
