'The takeaway from this call is that the American [people] deserve the truth,' Pelosi reportedly told Democrats on Saturday.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi told Democrats this afternoon that she intends to reject attempts by the Justice Department to limit disclosure of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe to a highly classified setting and called for full “transparency” of the report.
"The takeaway from this call is that the American [people] deserve the truth," she said, according to The Hill."Transparency is the order of the day." In a letter to Democratic colleagues earlier today, Pelosi reiterated that any briefings concerning special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into election meddling should be unclassified. The letter came as Democratic leaders reportedly scrambled to chart a way forward for the public release of the investigation, the completion of which was announced Friday by Attorney General William Barr.
A sitting president cannot be indicted under internal Justice Department guidelines and senior DOJ officials, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, have already asserted that they will not publicly disclose negative findings on those who aren’t indicted. However, Democrats have rebuffed the indication, arguing that Congress requires the information for its own investigation into President Donald Trump and possible obstruction of justice.
