Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday said President Trump ‘s nominee for attorney general, William Barr, refused in a private meeting to unequivocally say he won’t interfere with the Russia investigation and refused to commit to releasing the special counsel’s report.
“So despite the fact that there were some nice words at the hearing, we do not have the kind of strong, clear commitments to the report being issued and there being no interference in the investigation that are needed, particularly now with President Trump treating the Justice Department as he has,” Schumer told reporters shortly after his meeting with Barr.
