Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) called on Attorney General William Barr to testify publicly before Congress on Friday following an announcement from the Justice Department that special counsel Robert Mueller had completed his years-long investigation.
Harris, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a emailed statement that Barr should provide appropriate information about the report to all relevant congressional committee as well as give public testimony on the report's findings to Congress.
“We need total transparency here. The Department of Justice launched the Special Counsel investigation to get to the bottom of foreign interference in the 2016 election and any other illegal actions. A declassified report must be made public immediately and Attorney General Barr must publicly testify under oath about the investigation and its findings, and provide all underlying materials to the appropriate Congressional committees," Harris said.
“This is about securing American democracy and protecting voters’ confidence in our elections and our system of government," the senator added.
