House Democrats argued in new court filings that redacted information from the Mueller report 'may also be relevant to the House's investigation of the President's solicitation of Ukrainian interference in the 2020 election.'
. The information in question was largely redacted in the special counsel's 400-page report.
House Democrats also stated in that the secret grand jury information"could reveal that Trump was aware of his campaign's contact with WikiLeaks." But House Democrats allege that Trump may have been lying, based on a section from Mueller's report based on testimony from former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Manafort said he"recalled" then-candidate Trump requesting to be"updated" about the massive WikiLeaks' dump of emails from the Democratic National Committee.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the inquiry amid reports that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The controversial communication was first revealed in an intelligence whistleblower complaint, which alleged Trump was"using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.
