House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler openly challenged Attorney General Bill Barr’s determination that Robert Mueller’s investigation did not produce evidence that President Trump committed obstruction of justice. The New York congressman, who at one point seemed to acknowledge a heckler trying to interrupt his statement, became the latest Democrat demanding that the Mueller report should go public in its entirety. For his part, Trump declared a “total exoneration” based on the report, a summary of which Barr transmitted Sunday. Barr’s letter includes clear language that the Mueller probe did not find evidence of collusion with Russia during the 2016 election. Nadler’s committee is already leading an investigation into “alleged obstruction of justice, public corruption, and other abuses of power by President Trump,” which he announced earlier this month.
