Democrats: It’s a “coverup” if attorney general redacts grand jury information in Mueller report
By Karoun Demirjian and Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow Devlin Barrett Devlin Barrett Reporter focusing on national security and law enforcement Email Bio Follow March 28 at 3:17 PM House Democrats are ready to accuse Attorney General William P. Barr of a “coverup” to protect President Trump if he refuses to detail for Congress the information special counsel Robert S.
House Democrats also said Thursday that they are prepared to authorize a subpoena for Mueller’s full report if Barr misses the Tuesday deadline lawmakers set for him to deliver it to Congress. They stopped short, however, of promising to issue a subpoena, even though the attorney general has indicated he is unlikely to make their deadline.
A four-page summary of Mueller’s findings, which Barr delivered to Congress on Sunday, has exacerbated Democrats’ concerns. The summary said the special counsel did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, and that he offered no conclusion on whether the president sought to obstruct justice during the investigation. Absent a firm conclusion from Mueller, Barr, in consultation with Deputy Attorney General Rod J.
As Democrats pledged to continue investigating the president, Trump and his allies lashed out at his critics, chiefly the House Intelligence Committee chairman, Rep. Adam B. Schiff , who maintains there is still evidence of collusion with Russia, even if Trump won’t be charged. On Thursday, the committee’s Republican members formally called on Schiff to step down as chairman, submitting a letter they all signed declaring they had “no faith” in his ability to lead them.
