House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she does not trust Attorney General William Barr during a Wednesday breakfast with the Christian Science Monitor.
“I don’t know if this is news or it was news last week, but we will be having access to [a] less-redacted version of the Mueller report. I had said originally unless the whole country can see what they show us, we shouldn’t see it," Pelosi began.
“But I have. When we had the offer of this less redacted for many more people than just the leadership I accepted that because I’m afraid. I really don’t trust the attorney general of the United States and I’m afraid," she continued.
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declined an offer from Barr to view a less-redacted version of the report back in April, explaining that, “Given the comprehensive factual findings presented by the special counsel’s report, some of which will only be fully understood with access to the redacted material, we cannot agree to the conditions you are placing on our access to the full report.â€
More recently though, the Department of Justice offered a less-redacted version of the Mueller report to the Senate Intelligence Committees back in May, according to Politico, but it was unclear if they read it.
