Sanders’ Statement on Muller Report Release

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders today issued the following statement on Attorney General William Barr’s release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report:

“It is clear that Donald Trump wanted nothing more than to shut down the Mueller investigation. While we have more detail from today’s report than before, Congress must continue its investigation into Trump’s conduct and any foreign attempts to influence our election. We must also work to do everything we can to protect our future elections from the significant threat of foreign interference, and I call on President Trump and Republican leadership to stop obstructing the necessary work to protect our democracy.”
