Collins statement on Mueller report release

WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement upon Attorney General Barr’s release of the special counsel’s report: “The special counsel’s 22-month investigation found no Americans conspired with Russia to interfere in our elections and Democrats’ accusations of criminal obstruction are unfounded. I look forward to examining the mountain of facts supporting the principal conclusions the attorney general and deputy attorney general shared last month: no collusion, no obstruction. “I am encouraged by the Democrats and Republicans who have expressed their faith in Special Counsel Mueller’s integrity and ability. The attorney general has delivered more transparency than the regulations require, partnering with the special counsel’s team to make necessary redactions to a report that he is sharing with Congress in good faith, not by mandate. “I am thankful to Attorney General Barr for sharing this report.”
