Response from @RepRichardNeal: "“This afternoon, Secretary Mnuchin notified me that once again, the IRS will miss the deadline for my 6103 request. I plan to consult with counsel about my next steps.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The Treasury Department has missed the latest deadline from @RepRichardNeal to hand over Trump's tax returns. In a letter, Mnuchin says he's consulting with DOJ about the legality of the request and will respond by 5/6: https://t.co/C3HPW1FnnP — PolitiTweet.org

Reflecting on her second speakership @SpeakerPelosi calls herself "liberated" and "unplugged." "I want women to have all the confidence in the world that they should not be impaired by any cultural inhibitor of singing their own praises for what they have done." — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi tells @mollyesque she doesn't think the number of members favoring impeachment is growing, but "you would think so how it's been amplified." New supporters in recent days: @AOC and @RepValDemings. Not growing at an exponential rate, but numbers are ticking up. — PolitiTweet.org

More @SpeakerPelosi at the Time 100 summit: "Impeachment is one of the most divisive paths that we could go down in our country. But if the path of fact finding takes us there, we have no choice. But we’re not there yet." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Asked whether she believes the Mueller report showed obstruction of justice or criminal behavior by Trump, @SpeakerPelosi said, "That remains to be seen when we see the rest of the report." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Val Demings (D-FL), who sits on both House Judiciary and House Intelligence, said, "I think we have great evidence that the president has blatantly violated so many laws, it's just ridiculous...I think we have enough" to move on impeachment, per one source on the call. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The House Democrats' call today still turned into a conversation about impeachment, even with @SpeakerPelosi's letter earlier today that said the House can still hold Trump accountable without impeachment hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepDougCollins said the subpoena was premature. "Instead of looking at material that Attorney General Barr has already made available, Democrats prefer to demand additional materials they know are subject to constitutional and common-law privileges and cannot be produced.” — PolitiTweet.org

In a letter House Democrats ahead of a 5 PM call to discuss the Mueller report, @SpeakerPelosi writes: “It is also important to know that the facts regarding holding the President accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings.” https://t.co/pEAkv5jfR4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Dems invited to view the less-redacted version of the report have turned down the offer, objecting to the fact that Barr will not share grand jury material (would require him to ask a judge), and that the less-redacted version was only made available to a handful of members. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepDougCollins after viewing a less-redacted version of the Mueller report at DOJ: "We had no obstruction, no charge, there’s nothing there. Nothing today changes those results from last week." He also thanked Barr for making the additional redactions available. — PolitiTweet.org

With the Mueller report out, one of the arguments Republicans are making is that it does NOT explicitly punt the investigation to Congress, as Democrats are claiming. Here's the top R on Judiciary writing to @RepJerryNadler about this --> — PolitiTweet.org

The House is still in a 2-week recess, but we've got @RepDougCollins going to DOJ to view the less-redacted Mueller report, Trump suing to block a @HouseOversight subpoena, and the I-word circulating around the Hill. More here: https://t.co/H622qfoE0X — PolitiTweet.org

The impeachment resolution previously had just one other signatory - @RepAlGreen. This comes as the number two House Democrat, Steny Hoyer, told @DanaBashCNN today that impeachment is “not worthwhile at this point.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepAdamSchiff - who Republicans are targeting for saying there was collusion - says that regardless of legal questions of conspiracy or obstruction of justice, Trump's actions "are unquestionably dishonest, unethical, immoral and unpatriotic." — PolitiTweet.org
