Beyond that, House Democratic chairmen say other agencies and department chiefs have rebuffed at least 30 inquiries on policy questions, according to a list provided to The Washington Post by senior Democrats overseeing the investigations. The administration’s strategy, Democrats argue, is an affront to Congress’ oversight responsibility.

House Democrats issued similar letters last year to most of the same agencies when Trump fired his first attorney general, Jeff Sessions.Mueller was appointed in May 2017 by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election, potential obstruction of justice by the president and related matters.

Opinion | Releasing the Mueller ReportOpinion: After two years of selective leaking and speculation, it’s time to see the entire story Um that’s not how this works. I'd rather wait till they're done. Squeezing Mueller to complete a 10 year investigation in 2 years does an immense disservice to the rule of law. Also... Offices were raided this AM. Let them do their work.
