—-3:40 p.m.Six House Democratic committee heads are calling on Attorney General William Barr to make special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report public, including any “evidence of misconduct” by President Donald Trump. In a letter to Barr Friday, the committee chairmen say “the public is entitled to know what the special counsel has found.”Mueller is required to send a report to Barr and Barr is required to report to Congress. The Democrats are warning against withholding information on Trump because of a Justice Department opinion that the president can’t be indicted. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump was “following the proper process” by putting the decision to William Barr. But he has also made clear that he ultimately will decide what the public sees, and that any report will be in his words, not those of special counsel Robert Mueller.
