Trump camp runs Facebook ads about Mueller report

The Justice Department on Friday called House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler’s (D-N.Y.) decision Friday to issue a subpoena for special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report “premature and unnecessary.”

Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in an emailed statement that Attorney General William Barr had released Mueller’s report with only “minimal redactions” and already made arrangements for Nadler and other lawmakers to review a less-redacted version of Mueller’s report.

“In light of this, Congressman Nadler’s subpoena is premature and unnecessary,” Kupec said. “The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests.”
