WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released the following statement on Friday after Special Counsel Robert Mueller presented Attorney General William Barr with the report from his nearly two-year-old investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and potential ties to the Trump campaign, as well as possible obstruction of justice. By law, Attorney General Barr is required to report the findings to Congress. 

“Attorney General Barr should immediately turn over all records to Congress and make the full Special Counsel’s report public. Mueller investigated issues at the very core of our democracy—including whether a foreign power worked with the president or his campaign to get him elected, and whether Trump and those around him tried to cover it up. The American people deserve to know all the facts now. The future of American democracy depends on it,” said Murphy.
