House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to reassure restive Democrats Tuesday that the House will seek the full contents of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report apparently clearing President Trump of colluding with the Russians ahead of the 2016 election.
In a closed-door meeting Tuesday, Pelosi, D-Calif., urged Democrats to “handle this professionally, officially, patriotically, strategically, and told them to “be calm†and “take a deep breath," according to a source in the room.
She added, “Let’s just get the goods,†referring to the full Mueller report, which is still cloaked in secrecy while Attorney General William Barr determines how much of it will be made public.
Pelosi’s remarks followed the angry and surprised reactions from many Democrats to the four-page summary of the Mueller report provided to Congress by Barr.
Democrats, including Pelosi, are skeptical of the summary, and they instead want to read the entire report to mine it for wrongdoing by Trump that did not meet Mueller’s threshold for prosecution.
