WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a non-binding resolution on Thursday calling for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s upcoming report on his probe into Russia’s role in the 2016 election to be released to Congress and the public.
The measure faces an uncertain future in the Republican-led Senate. A bid by the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, to have the resolution approved by voice vote after the House’s action was thwarted by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. The resolution, introduced last week by the heads of six House oversight committees that are investigating Trump, calls on Barr to make public everything in the Mueller report that is not expressly prohibited by law and to provide the entire document to Congress.
The House panel’s top Republican, Representative Doug Collins, backed the resolution but described it as a restatement of the regulations that give Barr the option of releasing the full report. As Schumer tried to get the Mueller resolution approved by voice vote, the senator said on the Senate floor: “The American people have an undeniable right to see the results of that investigation.”
