House Freedom Caucus leader Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., complained Friday that congressional Democrats are unwilling to accept the Mueller report exonerates President Trump from the Russia collusion allegations.
“Mueller report will be public, AG Barr going above and beyond to expedite it, WH won’t review before, and Mueller even helping. Yet Chairman Nadler and Democrats still complain. It smells of pure desperation. They’re determined to prop up the collusion delusion—any way they can,” Meadows tweeted.

Following Attorney General William Barr submitting a four-page letter to Congress summarizing Mueller’s findings, including finding no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, some congressional Republicans have started pointing fingers at the Democrats for peddling the Russia collusion allegations without sufficient evidence to make the assertions.
This week, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., called for the removal of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif. A growing number of Republicans have called on Schiff to step down from his role as chairman.
Democrats are now calling on the Justice Department to release the full Mueller report and underlying documents. Some Republicans, including House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., have gone further, pushing for the release of the Mueller scope memo and documents related to FISA warrants.
