Senate Democrat floats legislative work-around if Whitaker buries Mueller report

 

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., raised the possibility of Congress introducing legislation to compel the Justice Department to release special counsel Robert Mueller's findings to lawmakers on Capitol Hill and the public.

 

"There is maybe some tricky legal issues here that have to figured out but I believe the answer is yes, that we could legislate that this report must be delivered to Congress," Merkley said during an interview Sunday evening with MSNBC's "Kasie DC."

 

"Right now under the law, the attorney general can block it," the Oregon Democrat continued. "And so that's a big concern: Even if the report is completed, it won't make it into our hands. I just feel the whole collection of the way President Trump has behaved, it's all about suppressing this investigation."
