Breaking: Mueller is not recommending any further indictments, says a Sr. Justice Department official.
It's been nearly two years since Robert S. Mueller III was appointed special counsel to lead the Russia investigation.
He also wrote that other information may be made available to Congress and he remains"committed to as much transparency as possible." Democrats and some Republicans quickly demanded that the report be made public as soon as possible and that all of the material be sent to Congress without redactions. Many of the 2020 presidential contenders tweeted their demand for full public review minutes after news broke of Barr’s notification to Congress.
Republicans are eager to see the report as well.“The Attorney General has said he intends to provide as much information as possible,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said in a statement. “I sincerely hope he will do so as soon as he can, and with as much openness and transparency as possible.”
Even before he filed his report, the former FBI director had produced a vast public record of crimes, lies and misdeeds, one that is especially alarming because it involves a foreign adversary interfering in a U.S. election. The special counsel’s office investigated Moscow’s efforts to sway the 2016 presidential campaign, whether Trump’s aides or allies conspired with the Kremlin-backed operation, and whether the president improperly interfered with the investigation. Along the way, Mueller’s team uncovered and prosecuted numerous other crimes.
“Let it come out. Let people see it,” he told reporters at the White House. “Let’s see whether or not it’s legit.”The special counsel’s office detailed how Vladimir Putin’s Russia attempted to influence the last presidential election with a vast disinformation campaign on social media as well as illegal hacks and leaks of Democratic Party emails.
