DOJ Appeals Federal Judge's Order To Hand Over Mueller Documents

Federal Judge Beryl Howell ordered the Department of Justice to provide the House Judiciary Committee with an unredacted version of the Mueller report and related documents. This decision was made to further the impeachment inquiry against President Trump, as the administration was seen as obstructing access to evidence. The DOJ was required to deliver these materials by a set deadline, but filed a motion to block it, arguing that the focus of impeachment was on Trump's involvement with Ukraine, not the Mueller report.

Why did DOJ lawyers file a motion to block the deadline for delivering the materials?

How did the focus of House Democrats affect the urgency of the Mueller documents in the impeachment inquiry?
