House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blast Attorney General William Barr’s “irresponsible” and “partisan” handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have issued a joint statement calling for special counsel Robert Mueller to give public testimony to Congress, and slammed Attorney General William Barr’s handling of the report on Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election.
The statement comes as America awaits the release on Thursday of Mueller's final 400 page report, albeit redacted, containing the findings of his two year investigation. The New York Times reported that Justice Department officials briefed Trump and the White House about Mueller's report multiple times in recent days. Those discussions helped Trump's legal team to prepare its defense and rebuttal of the Mueller report ahead of what will likely be a fierce political battle in the media.
But Barr’s summary to Congress noted that Mueller's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia to sway the election.
