Six committee chairs in the Democratic-led House of Representatives called on U.S. Attorney General William Barr to release the full Mueller report to Congress by next Tuesday.
A fight brewed between Democrats and Republicans over the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, while President Donald Trump kept up attacks on his critics on Monday.
No one outside the Justice Department has yet seen the report, including the White House. The Justice Department has not said whether it will release Mueller's full report, but Barr has said he will be as transparent as possible. Republican U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, noting that it took nearly two years for Mueller to conduct his investigation, said after blocking the Democratic measure:"It's not unreasonable to give the special counsel and the Justice Department just a little time to complete their review in a professional and responsible manner."
The president and his allies in Congress went on the offensive as the summary gave him a political victory ahead of his 2020 re-election bid, with no allegations of criminal wrongdoing brought against him. In an appearance on NBC's"Today" program, Sanders said:"The media and Democrats have called the president an agent of a foreign government. That is an action equal to treason, which is punishable by death in this country."
