The U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution directing the Justice Department to give Congress all records on FBI obstruction of justice or counterintelligence probes against President Donald Trump. That amendment provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation or incapacitation. Lawmakers are looking specifically at obstruction of justice and counterintelligence probes that former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe says he launched after Trump fired his predecessor, James Comey, in May 2017. According to Barr's summary, Mueller found no evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia but also did not exonerate the president on the question of obstruction. McCabe has said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein considered wearing a wire to secretly record conversations with Trump, an assertion that Rosenstein has denied.
