Mueller Report Release - House of Representatives' Vote
Both sides of the aisle teamed up today, voting 420-0 to make Mueller's report on potential ties between President Trump's campaign and Russian election interference available to Congress and the public (with redactions to preserve confidentiality and national security).
While eight members of Congress didn't vote and four Republicans voted "present", not one elected Representative voted against the non-binding resolution.
The decision can't force Attorney General Barr to release the entire report to the public or even Congress, but it does send a strong message in favor of public transparency.
It's unknown whether McConnell will bring the resolution to vote in the Senate.
