Democrats Seek Mueller's Grand Jury Material

“The House Judiciary Committee on Friday said it would ask a federal judge to unseal grand jury secrets related to Robert Mueller’s investigation and use the court filing to make the most explicit declaration yet that lawmakers are weighing whether to impeach President Trump,” the New York Times reports.

“In a significant escalation, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), the Democratic chairman of the committee, said at a news conference that the application to the court would declare that the panel needs access to Mr. Mueller’s grand-jury evidence — such as witness testimony — to decide whether to recommend articles of impeachment against the president.”

Key point: “There is no formal rule that says the full House must formally authorize an impeachment inquiry for the committee to conduct one.”

Washington Post: “Nadler said favorable court orders on those matters would ‘open the floodgates’ for enforcement of other subpoenas he considers key to ongoing investigations of President Trump that have been stymied by the White House’s refusal to cooperate.”
