Mueller submitted a confidential report Friday to Barr, who reviewed the document and sent congressional leaders a four-page summary of Mueller’s “principal conclusions” late Sunday afternoon. But Democrats will face intense pressure from jubilant Republicans, who welcomed Barr’s summary, insisted it had cleared the president and maintained that it was time to end the investigations. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said the report vindicates Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy declared Sunday that “it is time we move on for the good of the nation.”
As for the Mueller report’s apparent confidence that Trump and his subordinates had not colluded with Russians to sway the 2016 election, even when presented with the opportunity, Raskin insisted that he had “regarded the question of so-called collusion as an irrelevant distraction from the very beginning.”But that doesn’t mean Democrats are likely to drop the Russia-focused probe of their Trump investigations.
On the Sunday morning news shows, Nadler said it is “way too early to speculate” about impeachment. He said he still believes Trump obstructed justice, although “whether they’re criminal obstructions is another question.”
