Pres. Trump underscores claim made Wednesday by Attorney General Barr that 'spying did occur' on Trump's presidential campaign, as Democrats say Barr's comments 'destroyed' his credibility.
surrounding the genesis of the counterintelligence investigation that led to special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and other matters.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer joined at right by Sen. Amy Klobuchar speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, April 9, 2019. A frustrated Schumer later told reporters that Barr's words "have just destroyed what little, the scintilla of credibility he had left." Barr has concluded, based, he said, on Mueller's report, that Trump did not commit obstruction of justice.
In the wake of Barr's testimony, in an effort to ensure they receive a full, unredacted copy of the report, top Senate and House Democrats sent a letter to Barr Thursday, arguing the Justice Department is obligated to hand over the full report and underlying evidence and materials, as was done during the Watergate and Starr investigations.
