House Democrats plan to continue their own investigations post-Mueller
WASHINGTON – As news broke Friday that Attorney General William Barr had sent a letter to Congress saying special counsel Robert Mueller had submitted his report, reaction started pouring in from senators and representatives.
Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted a copy of the letter from Barr. Collins said he expected the Justice Department “to release the special counsel’s report to this committee & public w/o delay & to maximum extent permitted by law.”Across the aisle, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called for time for Barr to review the report.

Doug Collins March 22, 2019 Meanwhile, the House Oversight and Reform Committee has launched several investigations, including one into Trump's communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The House overwhelmingly supported a resolution in March pressing for lawmakers to get a copy of the full Mueller report. The Senate, however, blocked the measure.
Rep. Eric Swallwell, D-Calif., a member of both the House Intelligence Committee and House Judiciary Committee, told MSNBC Friday evening, “The American people will see every word, every comma, every period of this report. The president is outnumbered now in a way that he was not before. We have the subpoena power … so it’s just a matter of time.
