Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said the House's resolution calling for the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was nothing more than a failed attempt by Democrats to divide Republicans.
He continued: “So we just called their bluff and just said, fine, we can vote for this, because this is exactly what Bill Barr said he's going to do.”
The resolution passed unanimously, and President Trump said even he had called on Republicans to support the measure because transparency “makes us all look good.”
“On the recent non-binding vote (420-0) in Congress about releasing the Mueller Report, I told leadership to let all Republicans vote for transparency,” he tweeted on Saturday. “Makes us all look good and doesn’t matter. Play along with the game!”
