On Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded a nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether or not President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials to undermine the election.

The investigation, which issued hundreds of subpoenas and led to the indictment of a number of Trump associates, also investigated whether the president’s actions during and after the election constituted obstruction of justice.

After receiving Mueller’s report, Attorney General Robert Barr issued a four-page summary which stated that the report “does not conclude that the president committed a crime” but “also does not exonerate him.”

Over the weekend, politicians on both sides of the aisle began speaking out on the summary – some hailing the report as a political win for the president and others demanding that the full report be made available – including members of Alabama’s delegation in Washington.

“From the very beginning, I have expressed confidence in Robert Mueller to do a thorough and efficient job in coordinating this investigation,” said Sen. Doug Jones, D-AL. “It appears that he has done just that and I for one am relieved that it appears the investigation did not establish that the President or anyone associated with his campaign conspired or colluded with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. The Special Counsel’s investigation has, however, served an important purpose for this country and how we should view elections going forward.”

Jones said it is clear that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and “is poised to do so again” unless a bipartisan effort can be made to protect the integrity of the nation’s electoral process.

Jones praised Mueller for exposing “valuable information” related to election interference and for “prosecuting bad actors for a wide variety of criminal conduct” that occurred during the most recent election cycle.

Despite being satisfied with the results of the investigation, Jones believes the full report should be made public.

As I have said throughout this investigation, I believe the Special Counsel’s full report should be made available to the public, with exceptions when appropriate for national security reasons,” Jones said. “During his confirmation process, Attorney General Barr assured me that he shared this view and his report summary reiterated that. I expect him to follow through on that commitment and I plan to review the full report carefully once he sends it to Congress.”

For the most part, Sen. Richard Shelby, R-AL, shared much of his colleague’s opinion.

“After an extensive and thorough investigation by the special counsel, I’m glad to hear that there is no evidence of collusion or obstruction between the Trump campaign and the Russian government,” Shelby said. “I look forward to learning more about the report in the days to come.”

In the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Terri Sewell, D-AL, rejected claims that the investigation was a “partisan witch hunt” and called for Barr to publicly release the complete report.

“This cloud over the current presidency needed to be investigated to regain more public trust and confidence in President Trump’s actions,” Sewell said. “It speaks volumes that his actions are in question at all. There are no winners and losers in the Special Counsel’s report because the undeniable fact is that Russia did and will continue to make every effort to interfere in our elections. We must focus on this global threat and establish safeguards at every level of government to meet this challenge.”

Sewell noted that the House voted unanimously in a “bipartisan manner” to have access to the full report and that Barr’s summary leaves many questions unanswered.

“Attorney General Barr’s letter to Congress provides only a glimpse at Special Counsel Mueller’s investigative findings and poses more questions than it answers,” Sewell said. “In the report, Special Counsel Mueller did not exonerate the President and, specifically, did not reach a conclusion as to obstruction of justice. We the people deserve to know the underlying facts regarding any and all efforts to obstruct justice.”

Meanwhile, Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-AL, celebrated the report as a win for the Trump administration and shared his hopes that congressional Democrats will move beyond the continuing slate of investigations.

“This sideshow is finally over,” Byrne said. “As I expected all along, there are no indictments or charges related to President Trump or his administration. The whole exercise was a waste of time and money. I just hope Democrats will now accept that they lost the 2016 election and let’s move on.”

Rep. Martha Roby, R-AL, did not respond to a request for comment.
