Lying down. Announcer this is new day with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. Good morning. Welcome to your new day. Breaking overnight, the first signs that the mueller team doesnt like how their findings are being depicted and they may be starting to do something about it. The New York Times was the first to report some investigators for the special counsel are saying that attorney general bill barr did not adequately portray the findings of the nearly twoyear probe in his fourpage memo. Mark mazetti talked to us moments ago. Almost bawilliam barr had a shaping the narrative here. In doing so he downplayed the information that potentially was perilous for donald trump. We dont know how extensive this frustration concern is inside the team. We dont suggest its every member. But we think there is a significant strain here inside the investigation about of concern and frustration about how that all played out. Well get much more on that in a moment.

Congress takes a significant step in trying to get his hands on the full Mueller Report. The House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote to authorize a subpoena to get special counsel Robert Muellers full and unredacted 400page report. Democratic lawmakers want to see why the fourpage summary in special counsel mueller specifically did not exonerate the president on obstruction of justice and even though the special counsel did not establish a criminal case against the president for conspiracy or coordination with the russians, democrats want to see if the report outlines questionable activity or contact with the russians, perhaps short of a crime. Just last week President Trump said he did not mind if the report went public, but now he appears to have had a change of heart. Overnight he used new language to suggest he does not want it out at all. He even called a public release, quote, ridiculous and a waste of time. The other day on twitter he suggested maybe we should just say no

Viewers in the United States and around the world. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. Announcer this is cnn breaking news. Were following breaking news on the rapidly escalating warfare between the president and House Democrats. Tonight, the Oversight Committee has voted along partisan lines to subpoena a former white house official seeking testimony about the handling of security clearances. Democrats are expected to authorize more subpoenas tomorrow as part of their fight to get the full unredacted Mueller Report. President trump is lashing out about that, calling the move ridiculous and a disgrace. I got reaction a little while ago in my interviews with the chairman of the intelligence and Judiciary Committees. Theyre standing by their demands, saying they cant give the attorney general the benefit of the doubt, as he reviews how much of the Mueller Report to make public. This hour, ill talk to democratic congresswoman, jackie speier, a member of both the intelligence and
Trump is telling aides he expects it will back up his claim of, quote, complete exoneration, end quote, but one republican source tells cnn the president is, quote, going to be bonkers when he sees the testimony of current and former white house officials. While those close to the president tell cnn they do not expect any bombshells, some details, of course, could prove embarrassing.

This as democrats are poised to subpoena the Justice Department for the full Mueller Report and that subpoena could come as soon as friday.
