Pingree Statement on AG Barr’s Press Conference, Redacted Mueller Report Release

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) released the following statement regarding Attorney General Barr’s press conference and redacted Mueller Report:

“Today’s press conference by Mr. Barr was an exercise in political spin. The Attorney General must be loyal to the rule of law, not the executive. We learned today that President Trump's lawyers saw the findings of Special Counsel Mueller's investigation before the United States Congress and before the American people. That is not acceptable. Even now, we still have not seen the complete findings. The abridged version we received is no substitute for the unvarnished truth, especially given the indisputable and disturbing certainty that Russia hacked our election. The full report should be released to Congress without redaction and Mr. Mueller should testify before Congress about his findings.”
