The Justice Department has reached an agreement to provide additional documents dealing with potential obstruction of justice by President Trump to the House Judiciary Committee – averting a move to hold the attorney general in criminal contempt. House Judiciary Chairman Jerold Nadler said the documents would allow his committee members to perform their 'constitutional duties.' The House is scheduled on Tuesday authorizing the Judiciary panel to enforce subpoenas against Barr and former White House counsel Don McGahn. 'All members of the Judiciary Committee – Democrats and Republicans alike – will be able to view them,' he said. The deal comes on a day when the Judiciary Committee begins a series of hearings on the Mueller report, with former Nixon White House counsel and Watergate figure John Dean testifying.
