of the additional information from the report and say they
have subpoenas ready to go if it is heavily redacted.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said
Wednesday he will “probably find it useful” to call Mueller
and members of his team to testify after reading the version
of the report Barr releases.
Nadler also criticized the attorney general for trying to
“bake in the narrative” of the report to the benefit of the
White House.
Late Wednesday, Nadler joined the chairs of four other
House committees in calling for Barr to cancel his news
conference. But Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the ranking
Republican on the Judiciary Committee, defended Barr and
accused Democrats of “trying to spin the report.”
Collins said Barr has done “nothing unilaterally,” saying
he had worked with Rosenstein and Mueller’s team “step by
step.”
Mueller is known to have investigated multiple efforts by
the president over the last two years to influence the Russia
probe or shape public perception of it.
In addition to Comey’s firing, Mueller scrutinized the
president’s request of Comey to end an investigation into
Trump’s first national security adviser; his relentless badg-
ering of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his
recusal from the Russia investigation; and his role in draft-
ing an incomplete explanation about a meeting his oldest
son took at Trump Tower with a Kremlin-connected lawyer.
Overall, Mueller brought charges against 34 people —
including six Trump aides and advisers — and revealed a
sophisticated, wide-ranging Russian effort to influence the
2016 presidential election. Twenty-five of those charged
were Russians accused either in the hacking of Democratic
email accounts or of a hidden but powerful social media
effort to spread disinformation online.
Five former Trump aides or advisers pleaded guilty and
agreed to cooperate in Mueller’s investigation, including
Trump’s campaign chairman, national security adviser and
personal lawyer.
