“Top House Democrats, anxiously awaiting the findings of the special counsel, Robert Mueller, insisted on Sunday that their own investigations must go on regardless of whether the Justice Department accuses President Trump of wrongdoing,” the New York Times reports.
“Expecting the ‘principal conclusion’” of Mr. Mueller’s 22-month investigation to be made public by Attorney General William Barr as soon as Sunday afternoon but lacking any information on its findings, they sought to play down Mr. Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s election interference and possible ties to the Trump campaign as a relatively narrow endeavor that does not relieve Congress of its own oversight responsibility.”
