House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said Attorney General William Barr would not commit to make public the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller
Nadler and Barr spoke by phone Wednesday for about 10 minutes, in their first conversation since Barr released a four-page summary of Mueller's confidential report Sunday. Democrats have reacted with suspicion toward Barr's summary of Mueller's findings, and Nadler said it was unacceptable that Barr wouldn't commit to making the entire report public."Mueller spent 22 months investigating this," the New York Democrat said.
But Democrats have made clear they're unlikely to be satisfied with Barr's submission, and Nadler suggested Democrats could wind up in court in order to obtain all the documents they are seeking.Asked whether the report would be summarized at all, Barr told Nadler he"reserved the right" to summarize portions of the report if there were heavy redactions, Nadler said.
