Judge signals Dems may get to see Mueller’s secrets

A federal judge signaled Tuesday that she might give House Democrats access to some of Robert Mueller’s remaining secrets. During a two-hour hearing, Beryl Howell, chief judge for the U.S. District Court, challenged the Justice Department to explain its “extraordinary position” of trying to block lawmakers from seeing the special counsel’s grand jury materials, which include testimony and evidence that has been kept private since the Mueller probe ended in March. If Howell rules in Democrats’ favor, it would represent a major legal victory for them and could help expand Congress’ impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
