On Friday, special counsel Robert Mueller handed Attorney General William Barr his long-awaited report investigating the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election. Democratic leaders swiftly called for the immediate release of the report to Congress and requested a declassified version be made public. Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) echoed that call somewhat, saying Barr “needs the time” to review the report, but that he hopes he will provide “as much information as possible” and soon. “The Attorney General has said he intends to provide as much information as possible,” McConnell said in a statement. “As I have said previously, I sincerely hope he will do so as soon as he can, and with as much openness and transparency as possible.”
