Democrats have yet to see details of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report on President Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 election but are insisting they will press ahead with their investigations no matter what the conclusions. Separately, six committee chairs said they would proceed with inquiries into whether Trump obstructed justice or abused the powers of his office. “Congress requires the full report and the underlying documents so that the committees can proceed with their independent work, including oversight and legislating to address any issues the Mueller report may raise,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to colleagues shortly before the call. Transparency is the order of the day.”Mueller submitted his report to the Justice Department on Friday. Democrats said Saturday that Mueller’s findings might inform the details of what lines of inquiry they would pursue during their probe.
