The Justice Department offers to hand over Mueller report materials to the House Intelligence Committee in exchange for Chairman Adam Schiff not taking an 'enforcement action' against Attorney General Barr
The Justice Department is trying to stave off an"enforcement action" against Attorney General William Barr this week, making a rare offer to have the House Intelligence Committee review materials from special counsel Robert Mueller's report if House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff agrees to back down.
Last week Schiff said that he would hold a business meeting Wednesday to take an unspecified action against the Justice Department for not providing the committee documents related to Volume I of Mueller's report on links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
