This weekend Attorney General William Barr released a memo summarizing the results of a special prosecutor’s investigation of President Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. Barr wrote that he intends “to release as much of the Special Counsel’s report as I can consistent with applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies,” but that didn’t stop Democrats in Congress from demanding that the full contents of Robert S. Mueller III’s report be made public.
New data from the General Social Survey underscores why many voters might not be content to accept Barr’s conclusions without seeing the findings for themselves: Public confidence in the people running the executive branch of the federal government is hovering near record lows. CONT.
