Nita Lowey Blasts William Barr's ‘Unacceptable’ Handling of Mueller Report
Показать описание
Attorney General William Barr said he’ll release Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report “within a week” and will offer some explanations for material that he’ll be withholding.
“I am relying on my own discretion to make as much of it public as I can,” Barr told a House Appropriations panel on Tuesday. He said passages blacked out in the report will be color-coded to indicate reasons for redactions, such as references to grand jury testimony or damage to a person “peripheral” to the investigation.
But Democrats who control the panel questioned Barr’s actions so far in releasing summaries of Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, any involvement by those around Donald Trump and whether the president sought to obstruct the probe.
"All we have is your four-page summary letter, which seems to cherry-pick from the report to draw the most favorable conclusion possible for the president,” Representative Nita Lowey of New York, who heads the full Appropriations Committee, said. “And in many ways, your letter raises more questions than it answers.”
She cited a memo Barr wrote in 2018, as a private citizen, arguing against an obstruction of justice case against Trump for firing FBI Director James Comey. “Your audition clearly went well.”
