The House Judiciary Committee has voted along party lines on April 3 to authorize the chairman to issue subpoenas for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s full report after the Justice Department missed a deadline set out by the Democrats to release the document without redactions.

Twenty-four Democrats voted to give Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) the option to issue subpoenas for the final report, its exhibits, and any underlying evidence or materials prepared for Mueller’s investigation, while 17 Republicans voted against it.
