(22 May 2019) House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff postponed a meeting to enforce a subpoena against the Justice Department after the department agreed to turn over a cache of documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
The House Judiciary Committee recently voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress after negotiations broke down with the department over similar materials.
Schiff said the department "will begin turning over to the committee twelve categories of counterintelligence and foreign intelligence materials as part of an initial rolling production."
"Our first priority is to get to the bottom of what the counter-intelligence has to show, whether there are any steps that our committee or the Congress needs to take to protect the country," he said.
Schiff also said the subpoena that was issued regarding the attorney general will remain until all the documents are received.
And he says he still expects former White House Counsel Don McGahn and Robert Mueller to testify before the committee.
Trump's former White House counsel is the most-cited witness in Mueller's Trump-Russia investigation report, recounting the president's attempts to interfere with the probe.
