report or you don't. it looks like we agree they should. we owe it to our constituents and the american people and to future generations to do the right thing always but i think today to release the report. mr. speaker, i ask for a yes host: andrew desiderio joins us, he covers congress for politico. the house is taking up a resolution on special counsel robert mueller's upcoming report. what's the resolution do? guest: the resolution is nonbinding but puts pressure on the justice department to make the full mueller report and its findings public and available to congress. you recall there's some tension when attorney general bill barr during his confirmation hearings would not fully commit to making

the contents of that report public. democrats over on the house side were petty alarmed by that. and they've put together different legislative efforts they think could muster their way through congress. this is the one they think has the best chance of passing both chambers. host: the resolution's main author is jerry nadler of the judiciary committee. you tweeted that the house will vote wednesday or thursday on making the mueller report available to the public and the congress. the latest democractic effort to put pressure on the attorney general, he remains noncommittal on releasing the full mueller report. how will this put pressure on the department and the attorney general? guest: this is just one way house democrats hope they can do this. the chairs of six different house investigative committees have sent a letter to attorney general barr encouraging him on this subject, urging him, rather, to make it fully public, as much as he can. the only redactions they feel are necessary are grand jury material which always remain secret, and classified information or information that

would reveal national security sources and methods, many of which could be contained in the foo final mueller report. but those are the only redactions house democrats will accept. host: how is this resolution part of house democrats' broader effort to investigate the trump administration? guest: they argue because the justice department has a policy that they cannot indict a sitting president, congress must get any records of criminal misdoing on the part of the president so they can hold him accountable through their own processes, namely impeachment. jerry nadler and adam schiff have both threatened to subpoena for the final report if they don't get enough of those findings to their satisfaction. this could become a feisty conflict between congress and the executive branch coming up in the coming weeks or months, whenever we get the mueller report.

host: as house debate gets under way on this resolution on the mueller report and releasing it to congress and the public, what do you expect to hear from house republicans? guest: house republicans have said they agree with the substance of the resolution. the idea that everybody should know what mueller has done and sort of what his findings were. who he has indicted, who he has gone after, who he has subpoenaed, who he has interviewed, things like that. very basic information. this will put republicans on the spot in terms of where they stand on this issue of releasing the findings, in other words, the evidence of potential wrongdoing on the part of the president or anyone else who's been involved in this mueller investigation. it will be a tough vote for them even though it's nonbinding. host: here another case of a bill or resolution spearheaded by democrats in the house. what is its future in the senate? guest: leader mcconnell has been very coy about whether he'd bring something like this up in the senate. he said he supports the general idea of the report becoming public but has deferred greatly to attorney general barr and his

discretion which house democrats have not. you could see a conflict there but leader mcconnell hasn't indicated one way or the other whether he'll put this up for a vote. host: andrew desiderio is covering this for politico. follow him on twitter, @desideriodc. journal," live every day with issues that impact you. morning, ahursday discussion of trump's pentagon budget request. then illinois congresswoman robin kelly talks about the president's 20 fiscal requests and trade policy. live at 7:00tch a.m. eastern thursday morning. join the discussion.
