Pelosi calls Mueller report summary 'insufficient,' seeks full report

[March 25, 2019]    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday called Attorney General William Barr's offer to release a summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report "insufficient" and urged him to release the full report to lawmakers so their committees could proceed with their "independent work."
