Steny Hoyer (L), D-MD and Senator Dick Durbin (R), D-IL, speak with reporters at the White House following a meeting with US President Donald Trump to discuss the partial government shutdown, Januin Washigton, DC. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (2nd-R), D-CA Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (2nd-L) D-NY, Rep. Nadler on Friday promised “major hearings” with key players as part of his panel’s probe into obstruction of justice. Several Democrats said there’s an interest in bringing McGahn in for a hearing, but no decisions have been made. The House Judiciary Committee wants to hear from individuals who had “incriminating evidence” laid out in the report, according to a Democratic source.
Those subpoenas also could soon be served. The committee also had authorized subpoenas for five former White House officials who were mentioned in the Mueller report – including former White House counsel Don McGahn – that could shed light on allegations of obstruction of justice.

The oversight comes as Democrats are simultaneously mounting a full-court press for the entire unredacted Mueller report, with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler issuing a subpoena Friday for the full report and Mueller’s underlying evidence. In the interest of making sure that our policy is driven by the best interest of the country and not by the personal or financial interests of the President or anyone around him, we need to find out the answers to that.” “Other actions that may have compromised the President or others around him may or may not be even included in the report.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said that an examination of the President’s finances may have been outside the scope of Mueller’s investigation, though he also noted Thursday that the counterintelligence findings from Mueller’s investigation were not included in the redacted version of the report. If you read it, Mueller left a whole lot of room,” the aide said. “From our perspective, now we have to get to the bottom of this thing. In the wake of the report’s release, there’s a sense in the caucus they “really are only at the beginning of this thing,” one Democratic leadership aide told CNN. Democratic House leaders are still trying to tamp down talk of impeachment, but they’re pointing to the findings of Mueller’s report as a green light to move ahead on their investigations of the President. Now, with the report out, Democrats are putting one area largely unaddressed in Robert Mueller’s report – the President’s finances – front and center for their probes. Democrats picked up on their post-Mueller course on Friday, rapidly ramping up their probes into President Donald Trump’s finances and diving into the numerous cases of obstruction of justice that the special counsel documented.įor months, Democrats have launched their own investigations, but they’ve always kept an eye toward what the special counsel’s report might find.
