A US judge has granted a request by a House of Representatives committee for access to information that was blacked out of former special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Judge Beryl Howell in Washington gave the Justice Department a deadline of 30 October to hand over the materials to the House Judiciary Committee.

The committee's need for disclosure of the materials "is greater than the need for continued secrecy," the judge said.

The ruling is a major victory for House Democrats, who sought access to the redacted materials as part of their effort to build a case for removing US President Donald Trump from office through impeachment proceedings.

The Mueller probe found that the Russian state ran a hacking and propaganda operation to disrupt the US election and undermine Republican Trump's Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

Mr Mueller found insufficient evidence to establish that Mr Trump and his campaign had engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia.
