At a hearing, Adam Schiff says Donald Trump's "former criminal defense lawyers" changed position and stopped advocating for the report's release. He says the chairman and ranking member can together subpoena it and that he will move for a subpoena at the next business meeting. With the cases dismissed, he argues, there is "no prejudice to any ongoing prosecution."

The new crowd under Donald Trump, former criminal defense lawyers for Donald Trump, changed their position. They would no longer advocate for the release of your report. I would think if our chairman and our Republican colleagues really wanted to get to the facts, they'd want to see that report. The chairman and ranking member together have the power to subpoena that report. I'm going to make a motion in our next business meeting that calls for a subpoena to subpoena your report. We should see it. The country should see it. Those cases have been dismissed. There's no prejudice to any ongoing prosecution. They want to see the facts. Let's show them the facts, but they don't want to see the facts. They could have asked for your report. They don't want to see your report. They don't want the country to see your report.
