Redacted Mueller Report Released
Attorney General William Barr is releasing a redacted version of the Mueller Report this morning after years of anticipation. The report is 400 pages long and covers nearly two years of investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to interfere with the 2016 election.
Barr says there is no evidence that Trump obstructed justice or otherwise broke the law during the 2016 campaign.
“After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, and hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the special counsel confirmed that the Russian government-sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election, but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes,” Barr said.
However, Democrats remain skeptical and have been demanding for weeks that Barr release the full report. Last month, Barr released a summary of the report that concluded Trump had not broken the law.
On Thursday morning, President Trump tweeted a “Game of Thrones” meme that appeared to taunt his political rivals. The meme read, “No Collusion. No Obstruction. For the Haters and the Radical Left Democrats—Game Over.”
On Thursday morning, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi released a statement saying Barr had created a “crisis of confidence.”
“Attorney General Barr’s regrettably partisan handling of the Mueller report, including his slanted March 24th summary letter, his irresponsible testimony before Congress last week, and his indefensible plan to spin the report in a press conference later this morning — hours before he allows the public or Congress to see it — have resulted in a crisis of confidence in his independence and impartiality,” Pelosi said in the statement. “We believe the only way to begin restoring public trust in the handling of the Special Counsel’s investigation is for Special Counsel Mueller himself to provide public testimony in the House and Senate as soon as possible. The American people deserve to hear the truth.”
