JUST IN: Nadler makes a deal with the DOJ on Mueller report

It’s being reported now that the DOJ and Judiciary Chairman Nadler have reached a deal on the Mueller report:

WCBS – The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says the Justice Department has agreed to turn over some of the underlying evidence from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, including files used to assess whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler says the department will begin complying with the committee’s subpoena Monday and provide some of Mueller’s “most important files.” He said all the members of the committee will be able to view them.

The Justice Department did not have an immediate comment.

We don’t know exactly what evidence will be transferred, but it has to do with the investigation into obstruction of justice.

Because of this agreement, Nadler is not going to pursue criminal contempt:

In response to the agreement, Nadler said the panel will not hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt, for now. But the House is still expected to vote on a resolution Tuesday that would empower the committee to file a lawsuit for the materials.

Despite Trump being vindicated on this, I’m sure Democrats will try to make hay out of anything they get.
