NEW YORK (Reuters) - A leading progressive advocacy group plans to hold rallies in Washington and other U.S. cities on Thursday to demand the full release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who received the confidential report last month at the close of Mueller's 22-month investigation, has said he intended to release a redacted version to Congress and the public by mid-April.
But Barr did not meet a demand by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives to provide the unredacted report to lawmakers by Tuesday, April 2, prompting the liberal advocacy group MoveOn to press ahead with the rallies.
The rallies are due to be held outside the White House, in New York's Times Square and about 300 other locations around the country late on Thursday afternoon to demand the report, which is nearly 400 pages long excluding appendices.
U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is due to address the White House rally. On Wednesday, Nadler, a Democrat, won a committee vote allowing him to subpoena the attorney general for the full report, along with documents and testimony from five former aides to Republican U.S. President Donald Trump.
