Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press briefing Thursday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said it was "condescending" and "arrogant" of Attorney General William Barr to release only a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. 
"I have said, and I'll say again, no thank you mister attorney general. We do not need your interpretation," Pelosi noted at a press briefing. "Show us the report, and we can draw our own conclusions. We don't need you interpreting for us. It was condescending, it was arrogant, and it wasn't the right thing to do."  "The sooner they can give us the information, the sooner we can all make a judgment about it," she continued. Notably, six Democratic House chairmen have stated that the full report must be submitted to them by April 2, a deadline Barr has indicated he will be unable to meet. According to the New York Times, Mueller's report consists of over 300 pages, which has raised further questions about how Barr was able to adequately summarize the findings in just four pages and make conclusions about its contents. 
The Times notes that "Mr. Barr wrote to Congress on Sunday offering what he called the 'principal conclusions' of the report — including that Mr. Mueller had not found that the Trump campaign had taken part in a conspiracy to undermine the election."
