Senator Says House GOP May Have Obstructed Mueller

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) told Yahoo News that Republicans in the House of Representatives may have worked to obstruct justice in the ongoing Russia probe by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Said Whitehouse: “Whether it amounts to criminal conduct, clearly the efforts of the House Republicans were designed to impede and throw sticks into the spokes of the Mueller investigation.”

He added that GOP members of Congress “potentially even tried to communicate to potential witnesses or jurors their alternative narratives and thereby influence the proceedings.”
