The Law Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress requested a full version of the report of the special prosecutor Robert Muller in the case of the likely interference of Russia in the presidential election in 2016. 24 congressmen voted for the issuance of the appropriate agenda, 17 were expressed against them.
The decision will allow the chairman of the committee to Jeroll Nadler to call the five former assistants to the US President Donald Trump to testify. Including former advisers - Steve Bannon and Donald Mcgan.
As Reuters notes , the agenda can cause a confrontation between Congress and the Ministry of Justice. Earlier, the US Prosecutor General William Barr said that he would publish Müller's report, but in mid -April, and not until April second, as the democratic majority of Congress required. Now it is assumed that the report will be published without secret data contained in it. This does not suit both democrats and many Republicans.
Müller's report on the results of the investigation of the “Russian trace” was transferred to the office of the prosecutor general on March 22.
On the completion of the investigation of the likely interference of Russia in the American presidential election in 2016, the US Prosecutor General was informed on March 24. William Barr in his letter indicated that Müller did not find the facts of violation of laws Trump. At the same time, investigators established two main episodes of Russian intervention - the spread of disinformation on social networks in violation of the law, as well as hacker attacks, as a result of which, in particular, documentation was stolen from the server of the Democratic Party.
US Special Prosecutor Robert Müller convened a large jury collegium to investigate the Russian trail in early August 2017. Since the beginning of the work, the Müller group brought more than 200 to 34 individuals and two legal entities. 26 accused are Russian citizens. Six are former advisers to US President Donald Trump: former National Security President Michael Flynn, former head of the election headquarters Paul Manafort, former deputy head of the election headquarters Rick Gates, former personal lawyer Michael Cohen and former adviser to Trump Roger Stone.
