Donald Trump could still face impeachment proceedings as the House Judiciary Committee prepares to demand attorney general William Barr release the full Mueller report into the president’s ties to Russia, as the latter looked set to miss the 2 April deadline for its publication.Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, will ask his team to vote on a resolution to issue subpoenas on Wednesday, as reports emerge the Trump administration defied official advice in giving high-level security clearances to the president’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.President Trump has meanwhile raged on Twitter against the amount of aid given to Puerto Rico since it was hit by Hurricane Maria in 2017, attacking the island’s “incompetent and corrupt” politicians and declaring, “the place is a mess – nothing works”. He is also pushing forward once again with an effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which is more commonly known as Obamacare.Mr Barr has said that he plans on delivering the Mueller report to Congress by mid-April, but has signalled that the document could be heavily redacted in spite of his promise to be transparent with the report.And, anticipating that Mr Barr would not deliver the report on Tuesday, activists groups are preparing protests for later in the week to try and set focus on the attorney general’s handling of the report.Meanwhile, on Tuesday, testimony got fiery in Congress over Mr Kushner’s security clearance, with representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comparing giving the Trump family security clearances to transmitting America’s nuclear codes via Instagram direct messages.Please allow a moment for our liveblog to load
