WASHINGTON – Rep. Virginia Foxx issued the following statement on the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election:

“The release of the Mueller report provides public accountability—for both the Special Counsel and the Attorney General—which is at the bedrock of our democratic republic. After two years of thorough investigation to uncover the truth about Russia’s meddling in our elections, the report shows that the facts do not bear out the accusations against the president. That truth should unite all of us to move forward, but Democrats decided long ago that they can’t accept the truth unless it can further their agenda of impeachment. It’s disgraceful that they refuse to retract their lies about ‘evidence of collusion’ that have caused needless division in our country and have been ultimately instrumental in achieving Russia’s goal of sowing discord and mistrust in our electoral system.”
