Rep. Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) Calls for Unredacted Mueller Report; Renewed Investigations into Obstruction of Justice Allegations Against President Trump

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today following the release of the Mueller Report to Congress, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, called for a clean version without redactions to be provided to Congress and for renewed investigations into allegations of obstruction of justice and corruption against President Donald Trump.

"The Attorney General's heavily redacted version of the Mueller Report that was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee today creates more questions than answers," said Congresswoman Garcia. "It is clear that more than methods and sources were intended to be protected from the number of redactions and blind spots within the Report. Congress has a duty to the American people to protect the rule of law and fully investigate the allegations of obstruction, corruption, and abuse of power that the Special Counsel declined to make determinations on."

Congresswoman Garcia continued, "This is not about one party or president, but this is about the Constitution and the adherence to the rule of law. At this critical time for our nation, it is imperative that we meet our responsibility to fully investigate these matters for the public to have all the facts they are entitled to."
