WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07), a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement following the Department of Justice’s release of a redacted version of the Special Counsel’s report on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election:

“Even in its incomplete form, the redacted Special Counsel report makes one thing very clear: irrespective of whether President Trump and his campaign’s actions were criminal, they were dishonest, unethical, immoral and, ultimately, unpatriotic.

“The American people deserve better from their public officials, especially those who serve at the highest levels of our government, and transparency demands that Congress is presented with the full report and underlying materials.”
