Pelosi and other Democrats have expressed they are skeptical about the summary and said they want to read the report in its entirety in order to find any wrongdoing by Trump.
“We have to see the report,” Pelosi told Democrats.
“We cannot make a judgment on the basis of an interpretation by a man who was hired for this job because he believes the president is above the law. And he wrote a 19-page memo to demonstrate that.”
“Some people are viewing it as a glass-half-full, glass-half-empty,” Pelosi told Democrats.
The American people deserve the truth. AG Barr must #ReleaseTheFullReport.

“I think half-full.”
Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn warned Monday that Democrats must accept that special counsel Robert Mueller's report and move on, or face a voter "backlash" in the 2020 election
Speaking to "Fox & Friends," the political strategist said he worked with Bill Clinton on his impeachment proceedings in 1998, and after it was over, Americans didn't want to hear any more about it.“
The question is will America say the same thing or will Democrats keep pushing this as though they need to do an investigation even bigger than the Mueller investigation, which is impossible given the resources that he had,” said Penn, who also advised Hillary Clinton during her presidential runs.
