“It was a mistake to rely on written responses by the president,” Schiff said. “That’s generally more what the lawyer has to say than what the individual has to say.'
Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff harshly criticized Donald Trump on Sunday and pushed back against statements made by the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Guiliani, arguing that special counsel Robert Mueller shouldn’t have accepted written responses from Trump in his now-concluded investigation.
Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and alleged collusion with Trump’s campaign came to an official conclusion on Friday. Attorney General William Barr is expected to give Congress an overview of the findings soon. It’s unclear how much – if any – of the report will be made public, but Barr has previously said he will reals as much as possible in consideration of what is legally allowed. Democratic lawmakers have strongly urged Barr to make all the findings public.
Confronted with the tweet on Sunday, Schiff pushed back, saying that “Mr. Giuliani would be wise to wait until the report is made public before making any pronouncements on vindication."
