WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is unlikely to grant Democrats in Congress access to underlying evidence from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, a top congressional Republican said on Friday.
Democrats, who control the House of Representatives, want congressional investigators to have access to Mueller’s grand jury evidence and other information from the probe, fearing that Attorney General William Barr could release only a summary of Mueller’s report. “We do not believe there’s going to be collusion,” Collins added. “There’s no more indictments coming from this that we’ve seen so far.”
Justice Department officials and Democratic congressional committee staffers were not immediately available for comment. When Mueller reports to Barr, as required under law, Congress likely will not be notified immediately, Collins said.
