House votes unanimously for public release of the Mueller report
Today (Thursday, 3/14), the House voted 420-0 in support of a resolution "Expressing the sense of Congress that the report of Special Counsel Mueller should be made available to the public and to Congress." The resolution is non-binding and the Senate is under no obligation to consider it, but it could create extra political pressure on the Attorney General to release Mueller's findings publicly. While there were zero "no" votes, seven members were absent and four members voted "present": libertarian-leaning Republican Reps. Thomas Massie and Justin Amash, Trumpkin Rep. Matt Gaetz, and family-man Rep. Paul Gosar.
