BREAKING: House Judiciary Committee wins access to Mueller’s grand jury files, per an order from U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell.
Major victory for House Dems, even as the focus of the impeachment inquiry has shifted to Ukraine.

HOWELL: “[The House Judiciary Committee] has shown that it needs the grand jury material referenced and cited in the Mueller Report to avoid a possible injustice in the impeachment inquiry, that this need for disclosure is greater than the need for continued secrecy”
“Complete information about the evidence the Special Counsel gathered, from whom, and in what setting is indispensable to [the committee],” Howell writes, citing the recent revelation that neither McGahn nor Don Jr. were asked to testify before the grand jury.
!!! >> Howell backs up House Dems’ argument here that they need the grand-jury info to figure out whether Trump “knew in advance” of WikiLeaks’ plans or knew of his campaign’s contacts with WikiLeaks.
