The House Judiciary Committee and DOJ traded letters in an effort to kickstart negotiations for Congress to obtain documents from Mueller's report, but the efforts did not appear to halt a looming vote next week to hold AG Barr in contempt of Congress
The House panel and Justice Department still appear to be at loggerheads even after House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler wrote the department and White House late last month to say he was open to limiting the committee's subpoena for the unredacted Mueller report and underlying materials to a smaller subset of documents.
Nadler's May 24 letter, sent after the committee voted to hold Barr in contempt for failing to provide subpoenaed Mueller documents, provides some insight into previously unknown concessions behind-the-scenes while Nadler has been publicly demanding full compliance with the subpoena.
