Monday, April 1, 2019 The Commercial Review Portland, Indiana 47371 www.thecr.com $1 Dems plan to demand report By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Commit - tee will prepare subpoenas this week seeking special counsel Robert Mueller’s full Russia report as the Justice Department appears likely to miss an April 2 deadline set by Democrats for the report’s release. The Judiciary panel plans to vote on subpoenas Wednesday, a day after the deadline. The chairmen of several House committees asked for the full, unredacted report last week after Attorney Gen - eral William Barr released a four-page summary lay - ing out the report’s “prin - cipal conclusions.” Barr said in a letter to the House and Senate Judiciary com - mittees on Friday that a redacted version of the full 300 page report would be released by mid-April, “if The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney not sooner.” The planned committee vote, announced today, Spring break snow would not automatically issue subpoenas but Most of the sign in front of East Elementary School on Water Street in Portland is obscured Sunday morning following authorize House Judiciary snow Saturday evening.
