House Democrats pressed the Justice Department to provide the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller even as Republicans gleefully called for them to 'move on' from the Russia investigation. U.S. President Donald Trump accused those responsible for launching Mueller's probe of 'treasonous things against our country' and said they 'certainly will be looked into.'

Barr said in his letter to Congress that Mueller did not find that Trump's campaign "conspired or co-ordinated" with the Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election -- knocking down arguments from Democrats who have long claimed there was evidence of such collusion. "We can never let this happen to another president again," he said. "There are a lot of people out there that have done some very evil things, very bad things, I would say treasonous things against our country."
Trump signalled Tuesday that he also faults the media, tweeting that "For two years they pushed the Russian Collusion Delusion when they always knew there was No Collusion. They truly are the Enemy of the People and the Real Opposition Party!" Democrats signalled that they will curtail some public focus, at least, from their investigations of Trump and try to keep attention on their policy goals. Pelosi was scheduled to hold a news conference Tuesday on health care legislation, Democrats' top campaign issue.
