WASHINGTON - The Democratic-led U.S. House Judiciary Committee asked a federal court last week for permission to access grand jury evidence from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller’s 22-month investigation found that Trump acted repeatedly to impede the Russia investigation. In one episode, the report said the president pressed former White House Counsel Don McGahn to have the special counsel removed and then to deny that he had been instructed to do so. The committee is expected to file a lawsuit early this week to compel McGahn to testify.
* All of the redacted portions of Mueller’s 448-page report. The report describes numerous contacts between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia, but says the investigation did not establish enough evidence to prove a conspiracy took place. It also states that the investigation did not exonerate Trump of wrongdoing.
The Mueller report details about 170 contacts between individuals tied to the Russian government and either Trump campaign associates or his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen, according to the petition. The document also says that Trump may have had advance knowledge that WikiLeaks would release hacked emails damaging to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
* Underlying evidence and exhibits involving any knowledge Trump had of McGahn’s actions during the campaign, the post-election transition period and over the course of his tenure at the White House.
