Getting lawmakers to read more of Mueller report’s than the executive summary, media reports or their own staffers’ notes is no simple task
President Donald Trump can’t give a straight answer about the subject. More than a dozen members of Congress readily admitted to POLITICO that they too have skipped around rather than studying every one of the special counsel report’s 448 pages. And despite the report technically ranking as a best-seller, only a tiny fraction of the American public has actually cracked the cover and really dived in.“What’s the point?” said Sen.

Fred Upton said as he explained why he’s avoided one of the most highly anticipated reports in recent American history.

Tim Kaine , who was Hillary Clinton’s 2016 vice presidential running mate. “I intended to read cover to cover, but there was nothing in it that was a surprise to me.” poster="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201905/509/1155968404_6042345980001_6042348032001-vs.jpg?pubId=1155968404"Breaking out first from the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign pack, Sen. Elizabeth Warren during an early May speech on the Senate floorhow she went “cover to cover, every page” within about 24 hours of the report’s release, and then decided that Congress should impeach Trump.
