Schumer slams Justice Dept over 'pre-damage control' on Mueller report

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) ripped Attorney General William Barr over his plan to hold a press conference Thursday on special counsel Robert Mueller's final report before Congress has a chance to read the document.

“The American people deserve the truth," Schumer tweeted Wednesday. "They don’t need any more pre-damage control or spin from [President Trump's] hand-picked attorney general, William Barr. Mr. Barr is acting more like a Trump campaign spokesman than an independent agent of the law."

The comment comes amid reports that lawmakers on Capitol Hill would not receive Mueller’s report until 11 a.m. on Thursday, more than an hour after Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's scheduled 9:30 a.m. press conference.

Democrats have seized on the timing of the press conference to accuse the administration of plotting to spin Mueller’s report before its release reveals potentially damaging information for Trump.
