Attorney General William Barr is likely days away from issuing a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings, but Washington may be a ghost town when he does.while Democrats hold their annual retreat in Leesburg, Va. Then members will scatter to their districts for a two-week recess, leaving Democrats urgently clamoring for a glimpse of Mueller's report with a choice: to react from the road or underscore their concern by reconvening early at the Capitol.
Though lawmakers are loath to interfere with pre-planned recesses, Democrats have been urgently clamoring for a glimpse of Mueller’s findings since he finalized his report on Russian contacts with the Trump campaign in 2016 — and whether President Donald Trump obstructed the investigation. But Judiciary Committee Democrats say anything less than sharing the full report with Congress is unacceptable, and last week they authorized Chairman Jerry Nadler to subpoena Barr for the entirety of Mueller’s findings.
If Barr does share any confidential findings with Congress — such as classified material, evidence relevant to ongoing investigations or material that could be damaging to “peripheral third parties,” who Barr has signaled he wants to protect from public embarrassment – it’s likely to be done in a secure setting in the Capitol or at the Justice Department, which would require lawmakers to be in Washington.
