Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara tells ABC News there's still 'plenty of evidence' for collusion.
On Wednesday, House Democrats moved forward with efforts to obtain the special counsel’s full report, voting to authorize subpoenas to the Justice Department. So far Congress’ only knowledge of the report has come from Barr's letter to the lawmakers, which said that Mueller's team found no evidence of conspiracy. Mueller’s report offered no conclusion on the matter of possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.
Releasing the full materials to Congress, and particularly the chairs of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees, would be different than releasing them to the broader public, Bharara said. Within the Justice Department, the issue of obstruction seems to have come to a close, Bharara said, but the issue is not necessarily over for Congress.
"It looks like, number one, they have the view that the president committed a campaign finance violation with Michael Cohen," Bharara said, qualifying that as a former member of the department he doesn’t know the specifics of its investigations.
