Trey Gowdy, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Friday he has full confidence that Attorney General Bill Barr was able to read and write an accurate summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation report in a weekend.
A Justice Department official told Fox News this week that the Mueller report is more than 300 pages long.
“He summarized it, I’m quite certain he read it, he’s a really, really smart guy which is something that should give all of us confidence. Three hundred pages is not that much,” said Gowdy, who is also an attorney, on The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino.
Barr said Friday he plans to submit the full version of Mueller’s report to Congress by “mid-April, if not sooner,” and will not give the White House a sneak peek.
The timetable comes as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle – but especially Democrats – have been demanding that Barr release the full report. Barr submitted a four-page summary to congressional leaders last Sunday reporting Mueller did not find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, while he did not reach a conclusion on whether President Trump obstructed justice.
Barr said the Justice Department and the special counsel are “well along in the process of identifying and redacting” sensitive material, including material that “by law cannot be made public,” “material the intelligence community identifies as potentially compromising sensitive sources and methods; material that could affect other ongoing matters, including those that the Special Counsel has referred to other Department offices; and information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties.”
Meanwhile, Republican House Intelligence Committee members are calling for Democratic Chairman Adam Schiff’s resignation.
The Republican committee members demanded that Schiff step down as chairman over the California Democrat’s repeated claims to have evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. In a letter, obtained by Fox News and signed by every Republican on the committee, the lawmakers slammed Schiff for his claims in the media that there was “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
They repeated their demand in person during a heated hearing on Thursday morning.
ADAM SCHIFF URGED TO STEP DOWN AS CHAIRMAN BY HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE REPUBLICANS
The letter, which was sent to Schiff as he was confronted by those same Republicans, follows the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
“Your actions both past and present are incompatible with your duty as chairman of this committee,” the letter stated. “We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as chairman of this committee.”
“Adam Schiff shouldn’t resign,” said Democratic congressman Ro Khanna of the House Oversight Committee on Fox & Friends Friday. “We have a separation of powers, that’s part of the Constitution. You have strong oversight.” Khanna encouraged everyone to “move on.”
Gowdy responded by listing the members of the Republican House Intelligence Committee. “These are not members of the bomb-throwing caucus and for them to say ‘Adam Schiff, we have lost confidence in your leadership,’ I’ll tell you I think what’s going to happen next, Dana, is the intelligence community is going to say ‘you know what Adam, you disregard the information that you’re provided, you prejudge the outcome of investigations, you had the president not just indicted but in jail, we’re going to stop sharing information with you,’” Gowdy said.
“’If you are the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and you can’t act in a reasonable way, we’re going to stop sharing information with you’ in which case Pelosi will have no choice but to replace Schiff.”
Schiff, a vocal critic of the president, has doubled down on his claim that Trump and his administration colluded with Russia, and he defended himself during Thursday’s hearing.
Schiff pointed to evidence of Russian hacking during the last presidential election and noted that members of Trump’s campaign and family took meetings with Russians.
“You might think that’s OK that they lied about the meeting,” Schiff said. “I don’t think that’s OK.”
Mueller’s determination that the investigation did not support claims of collusion were touted by President Trump as a “total exoneration.”

Democrats, though, have sought more information about what Mueller may have found on the obstruction issue. While Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined the report could not support an obstruction case, Democrats challenged that conclusion as they wait to see the full report.

Former deputy assistant Attorney General John Yoo labeled calls from the Democrats for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s full report to be released as nothing more than a “publicity stunt.”
Yoo took aim at Democrats demanding to see the full Russia report, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, before warning it could lead to serious consequences going forward.
“I think Nancy Pelosi’s demand for the report right away is just a publicity stunt,” Yoo told “America’s Newsroom.”
“But there’s something worse behind it which is are we really willing to sacrifice the long term, long-time rights of criminal suspects and witnesses who’ve long cooperated with law enforcement because of the secrecy provided by a grand jury.
TOP DEMS WANT REPORT, NOW SUBMITTED, MADE PUBLIC ASAP
“That’s what Attorney General Barr is going through the report right now with his staff to delete or redact from the report. In exchange for the hill getting your report a week or two earlier.”
On Thursday, Speaker Pelosi, D-Calif., slammed Barr’s four-page summary letter on Mueller’s investigation as “condescending” and demanded to see the entire report.
“No thank you, Mr. Attorney General,” Pelosi said. “I don’t need your interpretation.”
“Show us the report. We have to see the facts.”
“I don’t see why Nancy Pelosi or other members on the Hill need to get the report to it’s faster and in exchange sacrifice the law that was approved by Congress which gives protections to give confidentiality to witnesses and people who cooperate with law enforcement.” Yoo reiterated on “America’s Newsroom.”
He also criticized members of Congress for being overly dependant on the Mueller report saying they want to use it as a sort of scapegoat instead of doing their own investigation.
“I think what is going on here is that Congress doesn’t want to do the work Congress can do the same work that Mr. Mueller did. They have the right to subpoena witnesses and they can bring the same people that Mueller interviewed and bring them before the Hill,” Yoo said.
“They don’t want to do that because it’s a lot of work and they don’t want to take accountability, responsibility. It’s much easier to let Mueller do it, have someone redact it and then claim some great political scandal. But Mueller doesn’t have a monopoly on the truth. If Congress wants to investigate it they can and they should.”

Syndicated radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, giving an extensive interview to Fox News’ Bret Baier on Thursday, called for the president to declassify everything related to the Mueller report and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), close down the U.S. border, shut down immigration and pardon everyone charged in the Mueller investigation.
“You know what I wish he would do? Declassify everything to do with FISA and everything to do with this investigation, then announcing he’s closing the border and shutting down immigration until we can get a handle on it,” Limbaugh said on “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
“And then pardon everybody that has been abused by this unnecessary investigation.”
GRAHAM DERIDES DEMS ‘OLIVER STONE’ APPROACH TO MUELLER REPORT
The conservative host called the Russia investigation a “manufactured coup” and said accountability is needed from the Obama administration to the media.
“There needs to be an investigation into this. There needs to be accountability for everybody who participated in this from people high up in the Obama administration all the way down and including most of the mainstream media,” Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh continued: “The people of this country were told their president was a traitor. They were assured their president had colluded and stolen the election. None of it happened. And the special counsel has known there was no collusion since before the investigation began. There has never been any evidence of it.”
Limbaugh criticized Democrats for continuing to talk about Russian collusion and not being satisfied with the four-page Mueller report summary released Sunday by Attorney General William Barr. Democrats have contended that that summary could not convey the full scope of Mueller’s findings, detailed in a report that sources say is several hundred pages long.
“Pelosi and the rest want us to believe that Barr is lying about what’s in this report — that there is evidence of collusion in this report. If that’s true, what must they think of Barr?… And where is Mueller saying: ‘Hey wait a minute, Barr is lying about this. I found collusion, I found obstruction. It’s in my report.’”
REP. SWALWELL: TRUMP COULD HAVE STILL COLLUDED DESPITE MUELLER REPORT
“It’s just continuing [Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.] and [Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.] are lying to the American people because they can’t give it up.”
The people of this country were told their president was a traitor. They were assured their president had colluded and stolen the election. None of it happened.
The Democrats are not laughing they’re not having a good time they don’t seem like they’re enjoying life.
Limbaugh also weighed in on President Trump’s push to abolish the Affordable Care Act saying he’d prefer the president focus on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“My preference would be for the president to zero in on the border to zero in on immigration and stop this. We are being invaded. We’re being invaded by a bunch of people that [have] … the potential here to totally destroy the makeup of our culture and the makeup of our society,” Limbaugh said.
“There isn’t any assimilation happening here,” Limbaugh said, comparing recent immigrants to immigrants of the past.

Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov and TownHall.com editor Katie Pavlich weighed in Thursday on Republican House Intelligence Committee members’ call Democratic Chairman Adam Schiff’s resignation.
“Adam Schiff is not going to resign, we know that,” Pavlich said on “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino,” adding that the members were simply putting their displeasure with Schiff on the record. “We need some accountability for the abuse of power when it came to receiving classified information, making these allegations publicly, then saying you can’t back it up because there is an ongoing investigation and now still saying there’s collusion,” the conservative commentator said.
“It’s a difficult day, I think, for Republicans to be making the case that Adam Schiff should be resigning … when we hear from The New York Times that the Mueller report is over 300 pages and The Wall Street Journal says it’s less than 1,000," Tarlov countered. "That’s a really big range in there — and it’s a lot more than four.
“I think it’s clear Mueller wanted to say he [Trump] is not exonerated. There is certainly something on obstruction of justice. We should be seeing the report.”
ADAM SCHIFF URGED TO STEP DOWN AS CHAIRMAN BY HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE REPUBLICANS
The Republican committee members demanded that Schiff step down as chairman over the California Democrat’s repeated claims to have evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. In a letter, obtained by Fox News and signed by every Republican on the committee, the lawmakers slammed Schiff for his claims in the media that there was “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
They repeated their demand in person during a heated hearing on Thursday morning.
The letter, which was sent to Schiff as he was confronted by those same Republicans, follows the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, which, according to the summary from Attorney General William Barr, turned up no evidence of Moscow-Trump collusion during the 2016 presidential election.
“Your actions both past and present are incompatible with your duty as chairman of this committee,” the letter stated. “We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as chairman of this committee.”
MUELLER REPORT MORE THAN 300 PAGES LONG: DOJ
President Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning, writing, “Congressman Adam Schiff, who spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking, should be forced to resign from Congress!”
Schiff, a vocal critic of the president, has doubled down on his claim that Trump and his administration colluded with Russia, and he defended himself during Thursday’s hearing.
Schiff pointed to evidence of Russian hacking during the last presidential election and noted that members of Trump’s campaign and family took meetings with Russians.
“You might think that’s OK that they lied about the meeting,” Schiff said. “I don’t think that’s OK.”
“I challenge Republicans to answer honestly about how things would work for them if it were reversed. If you had gotten a four-page summary of a special counsel investigation from Loretta Lynch or Eric Holder that said: ‘No big deal, Obama’s in the clear,’” said Tarlov.
Pavlich’s retort? “The justice system in America, that’s not how it works. We protect the accused and just because it’s in a report and because it was investigated doesn’t mean that person is guilty. And people like Adam Schiff have been using those kinds of arguments for two years to smear a variety of people who worked on the Trump campaign with really saying there was evidence but not providing it.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., doesn’t like William Barr’s tone.
Pelosi on Thursday slammed the attorney general’s four-page letter on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as “condescending” and demanded to see the entire report.
“No thank you Mr. Attorney General,” Pelosi said. “I don’t need your interpretation.”
“Show us the report,” she added. “We have to see the facts.”
TOP DEMS WANT REPORT, NOW SUBMITTED, MADE PUBLIC ASAP
Pelosi called Barr’s decision to write the letter "arrogant." Congress, she said, doesn’t need Barr "to be our interpreter of something that he should just show us."
The Democratic chairmen of six House committees have demanded that Barr release the Mueller report to Congress by Tuesday.
Pelosi also defended House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who faced calls Thursday from Republicans to resign his chairmanship over comments that there was significant evidence the president and his associates conspired with Russia.
Pelosi said the Republicans are "scaredy cats" afraid of a "patriotic leader."
Barr’s letter on the special counsel’s report said that Mueller found no evidence of coordination with Russia, but the report did not make a determination on whether Trump committed obstruction of justice in the Russia probe. Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein determined that evidence gathered by Mueller was insufficient on that front.
Trump has maintained since the announcement of the special counsel’s investigation that he never colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign. He has long decried the probe as a "witch hunt" while attacking the FBI figures who launched the original Russia probe that was eventually taken over by Mueller in 2017.

President Trump said on Fox News’ "Hannity" on Wednesday night that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff may have committed a crime by constantly pushing a false Russia-Trump collusion agenda.
“He should be forced out of office,” Trump told host Sean Hannity in a phone interview. “He is a disgrace to our country.”
“In one way you could say it’s a crime what he did," Trump said of the California Democrat, "because … he was making horrible statements that he knew were false.
"In one way you could say it’s a crime what he did because … he was making horrible statements that he knew were false."
MUELLER REPORT SUMMARY RELEASED, SHOWING NO PROOF TRUMP TEAM CONSPIRED WITH RUSSIA
"He would go on, night after night, talking about collusion — the collusion delusion," Trump said.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election found no evidence of a Trump-Russia conspiracy after a nearly two-year-long investigation that resulted in 37 indictments.

Schiff, a vocal critic of the president, has doubled down that Trump and his administration colluded with foreign powers despite Mueller’s findings.
“Undoubtedly there is collusion,” Schiff told the Washington Post after Attorney General William Barr’s four-page summary of Mueller’s investigation was released Sunday. He told the paper that the question of whether Trump or the people around him were compromised by a hostile foreign power was not in any part of Mueller’s report.
HUCKABEE: SCHIFF SHOULD ‘SHUT UP’ IF HE DOESN’T HAVE EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION
In addition to Trump saying Schiff should leave office, other Republicans – including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. – called for Schiff to step down from his leadership of the intelligence committee.

Forget the soul-searching. The media counterattack is underway.
With harsh criticism coming from the left as well as the right as Robert Mueller’s probe ends, the leaders of major news organizations, along with assorted pundits, are defending their work and that of their colleagues.
And most of them aren’t giving an inch.
Nope, they’re basically saying we did everything right.
They’re not reflecting on whether they banged the drum so loudly that it sounded like Donald Trump’s presidency was headed toward collapse. They’re not addressing whether they raised expectations for the probe to an absurd degree. They’re not discussing whether reporting bled into commentary as more of its practitioners simultaneously joined the cable news parade.
The New York Times reached several of the news chiefs.
CNN President Jeff Zucker is "entirely comfortable" with the network’s handling of the story:
"We are not investigators. We are journalists, and our role is to report the facts as we know them, which is exactly what we did. A sitting president’s own Justice Department investigated his campaign for collusion with a hostile nation. That’s not enormous because the media says so. That’s enormous because it’s unprecedented."
Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron: "The special counsel investigation documented, as we reported, extensive Russian interference in the 2016 election and widespread deceit on the part of certain advisers to the president about Russian contacts and other matters. Our job is to bring facts to light. Others make determinations about prosecutable criminal offenses."
And Dean Baquet, the Times’ executive editor: "We wrote a lot about Russia, and I have no regrets. It’s not our job to determine whether or not there was illegality."
Joe Scarborough offered a high-decibel defense the coverage on his MSNBC show: "Don’t knock reporters for The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, the broadcast networks for doing their job right." He also took several shots at Fox opinion hosts.
Overall, I think there’s something of a straw-man argument here.
Of course a criminal investigation of the Trump campaign, which yielded 37 indictments, and led to convictions of top former Trump associates, needed to be covered extensively and aggressively.
Of course the fact that Mueller declined to bring further charges doesn’t mean that all the stories written about the allegations and Trump’s handling of them — not to mention his constant attacks on the special counsel — were wrong.
And of course politicians can behave unethically without explicitly violating the law.
So the issue isn’t coverage vs. no coverage. It’s proportionate coverage vs. Defcon 1 coverage, the drumbeat of here’s-the-latest-outrage that could sink the president vs. here-are-the-latest-developments and new questions raised by our reporting.
While "journalists aren’t investigators" in the law-enforcement sense, they routinely submit their investigative work for prizes, and promote it as "a New York Times/Washington Post/CNN investigation has found …"
And that’s without getting into the obliterated line between reporting, analysis and cable punditry in an era when most of the reporters covering the story have TV contracts. And that’s without getting into commentary that portrayed the president as a potential traitor orchestrating a coverup that could lead to impeachment.
By the way, Fox News covered the hell out of this story too, though often in a skeptical vein and with more of a focus on possible wrongdoing within Mueller’s office, the DOJ and the FBI, especially on the opinion side.
But what’s striking to me is how the condemnations are coming from both conservatives and liberals.
Here’s a piece in The Federalist:
"For the past two years, a large swath of the media engaged in a mass act of self-deception and partisan groupthink. Perhaps it was Watergate envy, or bitterness over Donald Trump’s victory, or antagonism towards Republicans in general — or, most likely, a little bit of all the above. But now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has delivered his report on Russian collusion, it’s clear that political journalists did the bidding of those who wanted to delegitimize and overturn Trump’s election."
And here’s one from Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi:
"Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media."
Glenn Greenwald of the Intercept told Fox that MSNBC "should have their top hosts on primetime, go before the cameras and hang their head in shame, and apologize for lying to people for three straight years …
"There was a whole slew, not just me, of left-wing journalists with very high journalistic credentials far more than anyone on that network, like Matt Taibbi and Jeremy Scahill and many others, including myself who were banned from the network because they wanted their audience not to know that anybody was questioning or expressing skepticism about the lies and the scam they were selling because it was so profitable."
Alan Dershowitz, the liberal Harvard law professor, sounded a similar note on Fox, saying almost all the pundits "have just been dead wrong. It’s time for them to fess up, it’s time for CNN to issue an apology. CNN banned me from their air because I was being too fair. I was trying to assess what the essential issue was, and I wasn’t being partisan. They didn’t want that."
Of course, Dershowitz got more Fox invitations once he was regularly defending Trump.

The president isn’t exactly moving on, tweeting yesterday that "the Mainstream Media is under fire and being scorned all over the World as being corrupt and FAKE." After pushing the "Russian Collusion Delusion," he said, "They truly are the Enemy of the People and the Real Opposition Party!" That’s the first time he’s broadened the charge beyond just the "fake news," and in my view goes too far.
But when you have Ted Koppel saying Trump is right that "the establishment press is out to get him" — singling out the Times and Post — and former Times editor Jill Abramson saying its news coverage is "unmistakably anti-Trump," that ought to give people in the profession some pause.
For its leading members to say they have no regrets misses why much of the country is losing confidence in the media.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News host Shannon Bream on Tuesday that President Trump will not ask to see Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election before it’s made public.
Mueller’s highly-anticipated report found no evidence of a Trump-Russia conspiracy after a nearly two-year long investigation deemed a "witch hunt" by Trump almost daily.
TRUMP TURNS UP HEAT ON MEDIA AFTER MUELLER REPORT, RENEWS ‘ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE’ LABEL
“I talked to him just a few minutes ago, the president, and he said let it out,” Graham told Bream on “Fox News @ Night." “There’ll be some things in there I think will be interesting in terms of conversations. But the bottom line here is that Mueller has looked at this for two and a half years. He’s concluded that no one on the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians and that the facts regarding obstruction were insufficient for him to make a decision.”
Graham, the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, predicted Attorney General William Barr will turn the report "over to the committee and then I think he’ll come to the Senate hopefully sometime in April." He said it needs to be screened to make sure no sensitive information is released, such as grand jury information, which is legally prohibited from being released, and intelligence sources and methods.
TRUMP ALLIES AWAIT RESULTS OF TWO INTERNAL PROBES THAT COULD EXPOSE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION BACKSTORY
Democrats are pressing Barr to release the full report instead of a summary of the main conclusion points. Some point to the more than 30 indictments of Trump aides and attorneys since the investigations began.
Mueller did not determine whether Trump obstructed justice and Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein found insufficient evidence to determine whether he committed a crime.
Graham reminded Bream that nobody was indicted for collusion with Russia and urged Democrats to accept Mueller’s findings and move on.
“Now I’ll say this if they don’t accept this and they keep warning and outcome in spite of the evidence they’re going to get President Trump re-elected on this issue alone,” he said.

On Monday, Graham said he will probe alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) at the start of the Russia investigation and called on Barr to appoint a new special counsel to “investigate the other side.”
“Somebody’s got to decide if there’s criminal responsibility on the other side,” Graham told Bream. “If we don’t look at how it got so off the rails. If we don’t look at this accusation against the president came about, then shame on us.”

Democrats are moving on from the Mueller investigation and calls to impeach President Trump, but they still want to see the special counsel’s full report House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C. said.
Clyburn called for the release of the full Mueller report during an appearance on “Outnumbered Overtime" Tuesday afternoon.
“We want to see the full report, give us the full report, let us make up our own minds. We do have brains on our side of the aisle,” Clyburn said when asked about the call for the full report to be released by April 2nd.
Host Harris Faulkner asked Clyburn why Democrats continue to focus on the Mueller report and not move on to other issues.
“We are moving on,” Clyburn responded before mentioning the Affordable Care Act, rural broadband deployment and infrastructure as issues his party is focused on.
“You’re the one camping out with Mueller. We’ve gone on from that,” Clyburn told Faulkner.
Faulkner defended her questioning saying that six Democratic committee heads have called for the full Mueller report to be released before ending the segment for breaking news.
TRUMP IMPEACHMENT BACKERS NOT GIVING UP AFTER MUELLER REPORT
Earlier in the segment, Clyburn dismissed freshman congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s, D-Mich., efforts to introduce a resolution that would investigate President Trump for possible “impeachable offenses.”
“They do what they think they have to do,” Clyburn said. “No one can stop me from introducing whatever resolution I want to introduce. I don’t have to get a vote on it. I don’t have to get support for it but you’re free to do it.”
Clyburn also responded to reports that President Trump’s Department of Justice is introducing a lawsuit declaring the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional.
“That runs awry… the president said time and time again, he told us he will protect people with preexisting conditions. No, you’re saying the one law that protects people with preexisting conditions, his justice department… is now asking the supreme court to get rid of it,” Clyburn said.

Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile says that she wants to see the full report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to see how the Trump campaign responded to Russia’s attempts to impact the election.
“We are adults, we need to see the report. And I think once the report is out, all of the report, then I think the American people can get a better understanding of what’s happened,” Brazile told “Fox & Friends.”
“And hopefully we can stop thinking about who’s right and who’s wrong and figure out how to protect our country from the hacking.”
Let us see the report and I think we’ll all get back on the same page when it comes to protecting our country from future attacks
Brazile noted the summary released by Attorney General William Barr Sunday which said that Trump did not conspire with Russia did leave some unanswered question.
“It says that ‘the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,’” Brazile said.
“I’m a Democrat, but I’m also an American, I want to know when the Russians came to Trump campaign and they tried to give them information did they tell the FBI, did they call the police and say, ‘hey, we got these guys from Russia trying to give us stuff we don’t need or we don’t want.’”
DONNA BRAZILE: WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO LEARN FROM THE MUELLER REPORT
Brazile added: “Let us see the report and I think we’ll all get back on the same page when it comes to protecting our country from future attacks.”
The former head of the DNC also defended Democrats talks of continuing investigations saying that they have a “constitutional responsibility,” adding it is both parties responsibility to protect the country from future hacking attempts.
