House Democrats’ lawyers are warning that the Justice Department may be seeking to stall the impeachment probe of President Donald Trump by dragging out a court fight over the House’s ability to get information that could be fodder for that inquiry.from a federal judge in Washington on Friday that granted the House Judiciary Committee access to secret grand jury information special counsel Robert Mueller relied on to write his final report.
When asking Howell for a stay, Justice Department attorneys asserted that the Mueller probe is now peripheral to the impeachment activity in the House, where a slew of witnesses have been appearing in closed-door sessions in recent days before the House Intelligence Committee to discuss allegations that Trump pushed to withhold U.S. security aid to Ukraine until the country opened an investigation into his political rival, leading Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden.
“DOJ is wrong about the scope of the House’s inquiry,” Letter wrote. “As the Speaker and the undersigned counsel have confirmed, the Committee’s investigation is part of the House’s impeachment inquiry.” “In seeking a stay, DOJ ignores Speaker Pelosi’s actual remarks … in favor of a news article that does not quote the Speaker on the relevant issue,” Letter wrote.
