Democrats want Attorney General William Barr to cancel his revelation of the Mueller Report on Thursday morning.
Chairpersons of top House committees banded together to issue a statement Wednesday night demanding Attorney General William Barr cancel his Thursday press conference before the release of a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
Now that a redacted version of the report is set to be released, House Democrat committee chairs demanded the 9:30 a.m. ET press conference not go on as scheduled, according to The Hill. The statement was signed by the Democratic chairpersons Jerrold Nadler , Adam Schiff , Elijah Cummings , Maxine Waters and Eliot Engel .Democrats have said the report should be read by lawmakers before it becomes public. The Democratic group also mentioned a New York Times report that indicated officials from the Justice Department had already met with attorneys for the White House, calling it a coverup to the public, according to The Hill.
"These new actions by the Attorney General reinforce our concern that he is acting to protect President Trump. The Attorney General previously stated, 'I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion.' We agree," the statement continued.
