Questions are mounting over special counsel Robert Muellers inquiry into whether President Trump obstructed justice as lawmakers on Capitol Hill await the release of his report.
While Barrs four-page letter to Congress on Sunday silenced suspicions Mueller would charge Trump or members of his campaign with conspiring with the Russian government, its contents only amplified the mystery surrounding the obstruction inquiry.
It remains unclear why Mueller declined to make a decision one way or another on whether Trump impeded his investigation, and Democrats have grown increasingly skeptical of Attorney General William Barrs judgment that the evidence was insufficient to accuse Trump of obstruction. They also argue he is not a neutral arbiter.
Lawmakers are unlikely to get answers for weeks, as the Justice Department combs through Muellers 300-plus-page report to determine what can be publicly released.
