'We would like to read the report in full,' Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
Russia has called on the United States to publish the results of a nearly two-year investigation into allegations that President Donald Trump colluded with Moscow in an effort influence the 2016 presidential election.
Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein cleared the president of that charge, finding the evidence"not sufficient" to indict him. The news was celebrated by both the Trump administration and Russian officials, who have denied any sort of joint effort to win the elections. Still, echoing Democratic skeptics, Russia has called for the investigation's findings to be made public.
In a 45-minute interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Trump called the investigation"ridiculous" and criticized the massive amount of resources expended on it. The president partially blamed "dirty cops" and"bad FBI folks" and said"what they did to our country was a terrible, terrible thing" that should"never, ever happen to another president."
