Justice Dept slams Nadler subpoena of Mueller report, says will work with Cong

The U.S. Justice Department dismissed a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee for an unredacted copy of the report produced by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as "premature and unnecessary" in a statement on Friday.

"Congressman Nadler's subpoena is premature and unnecessary. The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests," DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement, referring to the committee's chairman, Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat.
