The 2020 presidential candidates and congressional leaders said the American people have a ‘right to the truth.’
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow March 22 at 7:22 PM Democratic presidential candidates responded swiftly to the news Friday that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III had sent his long-awaited report on the Russia investigation to Attorney General William P. Barr: Make it public now.
Other congressional Democrats immediately added to the drumbeat of calls for the report to be made available for public consumption. Other congressional Republicans urged patience to allow Barr to digest Mueller’s findings and urged transparency, but not necessarily a full release. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey O. Graham said he will work “to ensure as much transparency as possible, consistent with the law.”Sen. Kamala D. Harris , another presidential candidate, called for Barr to testify “under oath about the investigation and its findings, and provide all underlying materials to the appropriate congressional committees.”
