The Judiciary Committee plans to investigate charges of obstruction of justice against the president that were laid out in the redacted Mueller report.
It "falls to Congress to determine the full scope of that alleged misconduct and to decide what steps we must take going forward,â Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler said.
The House speaker called the redacted report a "grave matter" and described its release as "disrespectfully late."
Chairman Jerry Nadler demanded that the special counsel appear to explain his findings.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Committee chairs slammed the attorney general for planning an "unnecessary" press conference before the Mueller report's release to Congress.
The president has "no moral authority" to attack Rep. Ilhan Omar over comments referencing the terror attack, the congressman told Jake Tapper.
Trump's personal attorney claimed, however, that only Attorney General William Barr could make that decision.
âWe have an obligation to read the full report, and the Department of Justice has an obligation to provide it, in its entirely, without delay," Chairman Jerrold Nadler said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Barrâs synopsis of the federal probe âcondescendingâ and âarrogant.â
The requests for underlying evidence are central to Democratsâ demands for Muellerâs full report.
