Investigations will continue on Capitol Hill as House Democrats exercise oversight powers

WASHINGTON – As news broke Friday that Attorney General William Barr had sent a letter to Congress saying special counsel Robert Mueller had submitted his report, reaction started pouring in from senators and representatives.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer released a joint statement saying it's "imperative for Mr. Barr to make the full report public." They called upon Barr to not give President Donald Trump, his lawyers or his staff a "sneak preview" of the special counsel's findings or evidence.

Sen. Cory Booker tweeted that the report should be made public "immediately."

Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted a copy of the letter from Barr. Collins said he expected the Justice Department “to release the special counsel’s report to this committee & public w/o delay & to maximum extent permitted by law.”
