'I don’t want a summary of the Mueller report. I want the whole damn report,' Vermont Senator and 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said.
With the release of a letter from Attorney General William Barr summarizing the contents of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, many Democrats have taken to social media to demand more information.
In a joint statement released Sunday afternoon, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Barr to make the full report from Mueller public. Sanders tweeted his comments shortly after the letter was released, saying"I don’t want a summary of the Mueller report. I want the whole damn report," followed by a link to an NBC News report about Barr's summary.
New York Senator Kristen Gillibrand called for Mueller's report to be made public during a campaign launch event held at Trump International Hotel on Sunday, saying,"The Mueller report must be made public. All of it. It's not often that I agree with Richard Nixon. But he was right to say that the American people have a right to know whether their president is a crook."
Elizabeth Warren cited Congress' 420-0 vote to make the report public in her tweet, saying,"Congress voted 420-0 to release the full Mueller report. Not a"summary" from his handpicked Attorney General. AG Barr, make the full report public. Immediately." "This is the REAL conversation we need to have as a country. As horrific as this president is, he is a symptom of much deeper problems. Even foreign influence plays on nat’l [sic] wounds that we refuse to address: income inequality, racism, corruption, a willingness to excuse bigotry." Ocasio-Cortez said."He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached, or voted out in 2020.
