Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blocked a resolution calling for special counsel Robert Mueller's report to be released publicly.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) asked for unanimous consent for the nonbinding resolution, which cleared the House 420-0, to be passed by the Senate following
Mueller's submission of his final report on Friday.
"Whether or not you're a supporter of President Trump ... there is no good reason not to make the report public," Schumer said from the floor. "It's a simple request for transparency.
Nothing more, nothing less." But McConnell objected, noting that Attorney General William Barr is working with Mueller to determine what in his report can be released publicly and
what cannot.
Schumer added after McConnell's objection that the resolution didn't say the report should be released "immediately" but just that it ought to be released. "I'm sort of befuddled by the
majority leader's reasoning in this regard because it is not in the words of this resolution," he said.
