Ohio lawmakers are speaking out as Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on possible collusion in the 2016 presidential election could have preliminary information released as early as Saturday evening.
The "Russia probe" as it's called has led to the indictment of 34 people, although Mueller revealed Friday when he handed the finished report over to Attorney William Barr, that he's calling for no more indictments.
Barr will now be the one to decide if any part of the report is made public.
Hot on his trail are several state lawmakers including Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown, as well as Congressmen Tim Ryan and Bill Johnson, who voiced their push for transparency on Twitter.
The American people deserve full transparency. The Mueller report should be provided to Congress quickly and its findings must be released to the public in full.

Pleased that the special counsel has finally concluded his investigation into Russia's efforts to undermine our democracy. I've said from the outset of this process that the special counsel should follow the facts wherever they lead and I hope the report is made public soon.

I look forward to the full Mueller Report to be made public. The American people deserve full transparency.

The long awaited report from Special Counsel Mueller has been delivered to Attorney General Barr. Just like you, I’m anxious to read it. I’ve long believed that no “collusion” occurred, and I believe the report will confirm this.
