House Judiciary Chairman Nadler said that Special Counsel Mueller's report could contain 'grounds for impeachment' of President Trump or other actions and that 'some' of the report would not leak publicly if provided without redactions to his committee.
"The committee has a very good record of protecting information which it decides to protect," Nadler said.
In an interview on CBS's"Face the Nation," Nadler said,"Congress has a right to the entire report, with no redactions whatsoever, so we can see what's there.", Nadler said some members of Mueller's team"seem to be very unhappy" with Attorney General William Barr's summary of the report. The New York Times and The Washington Post first reported on the Mueller team's frustration with Barr's summary.
"You know, you can commit shameful acts, you can commit complete betrayals of the public interest without committing impeachable acts," Nadler said."And if you did that, the public ought to know that too. And the standard here is not an impeachment. The standard is we have to protect the public from presidential misconduct."
"The committee has a very good record of protecting information which it decides to protect," he added.
