NEW YORK (Reuters) – Democratic U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand delivered a fiery repudiation of U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday at the doorstep of one of his most famous properties, making it clear she will not pull her punches in seeking to replace him.
Nonetheless, his complete lack of response and sense of urgency with regard to the first part of Barr’s summary detailing the plot and practices of Russian election interference still must worry us, whether or not his lack of response surprises us.
House Democrats held an emergency call on Sunday night where they began discussing plans to call Mueller to testify if they don't get his report.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) called out Trump and his lawyers for lying about Mueller's findings and claiming that Trump was totally exonerated.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer blew up Trump's claims that the Mueller report totally exonerated him.
House Democrats wasted no time in announcing that Attorney General William Barr will be called to testify before the Judiciary Committee.
Trump immediately twisted the Mueller finding into a false claim that Democrats broke the law and must be investigated.
Democrats are raising doubts and questions about William Barr’s summary of Robert Mueller’s report.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said in a statement to PoliticusUSA, “Attorney General Barr needs to make the entire Special Counsel’s report public immediately. Congress should be able to review the evidence independent of the interpretation of Trump-appointed allies like the Attorney General. This is too important to our democracy to keep anything hidden from public view, especially when the future of our democracy is at stake.”
The Mueller report does not conclude that Trump committed a crime, nor does it conclude that Trump did not do anything wrong.
There are three Democratic candidates who the Trump campaign fears the most and all three are at the top of the Democratic primary field.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said that Trump can't assert Executive Privilege hide the Mueller report.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is calling for Attorney General William Barr to burn the Mueller report so that it can't be read.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) made it clear that if Trump committed crimes and can't be indicted right now, impeachment is still on the table.
We all know that under Department of Justice (DOJ) guidelines Robert Mueller had to submit a report on his findings of criminal conduct to Attorney General William Barr. And we know that Barr has discretion, and may or may not release this so-called “criminal report” to Congress and to the public.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on Sunday that it would be “equivalent to a cover up” if the Department of Justice (DOJ) refuses to release the underlying information behind special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report.
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin used to be a Republican. Then Donald Trump won her party’s nomination.
Although Trump motivated her to leave her party, her opinions still count in Washington. And this morning she is making the case that proceeding with impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump will be to Republicans’ advantage before the 2020 elections.
Democratic U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will give her first speech as an official presidential candidate in New York City today, and will call Donald Trump a “coward” in front of his own hotel. The new 2020 candidate will also accuse the president of “tearing apart the moral fabric of our country.”
Yesterday we reported that since Bob Mueller has delivered his report to William Barr, the fight against Donald Trump and his criminal family and businesses will move to the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. civil liberties privacy group has filed a lawsuit seeking the public release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is cooperating with a wide-ranging probe by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee into Trump and possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power.
