Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is delivering what is slated to be his “final thoughts” on special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
In his rebuke of the criticism of the investigation, McConnell slammed Democrats unhappy with the results of Mueller’s findings, claiming they were “hoping for a national crisis for the sake of their own politics.” He said the Russia investigation ultimately “morphed into a last hope” for those who never “come to terms” with Donald Trump as president.
Following the release of Mueller’s report, McConnell commended the work of Attorney General William Barr as “diligent” saying the country is “fortunate to have an experienced leader like Bill Barr in place to ensure maximum possible transparency while carefully protecting classified material and legally restricted grand jury information.”

Barr meanwhile has since defended his summary of the report’s findings after receiving a letter from Muller complaining that Barr didn’t “fully capture” the substance of his report.
