WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee voted on Wednesday to authorize subpoenas for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's full, unredacted report and underlying evidence from his investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election. The 24-17 vote along party lines - with Democrats in favor and President Donald Trump's fellow Republicans opposed - authorized the panel's chairman, Jerrold Nadler, to subpoena Mueller's material. The measure also authorized Nadler to subpoena documents and testimony from five former Trump aides, including former political advisor Steve Bannon and former White House Counsel Donald McGahn.
