McConnell blocks move by Schumer to pass resolution calling for Mueller report to be made public


(CNN) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday blocked efforts by his Democratic counterpart to pass via unanimous consent a resolution to make public special counsel Robert Mueller's report, the second time Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has tried to do so. McConnell objected this time saying he wants to give Attorney General William Barr and Mueller time to complete their investigations and because Barr has committed to make as much of the report public, but he shouldn't be rushed. Schumer criticized McConnell's objections, saying Republicans support the language in his resolution. "This language was good enough for every Republican in the Senate as well as every Democrat," Schumer said following McConnell remarks. The report should be made public and the Senate should resolve that it should be."
