Oregon's congressional delegation helped stir the Twitter storm over the weekend, mostly demanding that the full report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller be made available to Congress and the public.

In a four-page letter to members of Congress, Attorney General William Barr said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation did not find evidence that President Donald Trump's campaign "conspired or coordinated" with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Barr also said in the letter that Mueller investigated whether Trump obstructed justice but didn't come to a definitive answer.

The justice department sent out a letter Sunday about the findings in the two-year investigation headed by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian election interference and President Donald Trump.

Oregon congressional Democrats joined a chorus of indignant politicians on Twitter Sunday, demanding that the report on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the 2016 presidential campaign be released in full.

Twice in nine months, at least three members of Oregon's congressional delegation have paid a visit to a little-known school in Salem run by the federal government.

"The goal was to find out what the hell is going on," said Rep. Kurt Schrader, still fuming from a tense, 75-minute discussion at Chemawa Indian School, one of just four off-reservation boarding schools in the country.

Oregon lawmakers are pushing for a nationwide ban of asbestos - a known carcinogen that kills thousands of people in America every year.

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici and Senator Jeff Merkley inroduced a new act -- that would ban asbestos entirely in the U.S.

The lawmakers met with community members in Portland Thursday to discuss the issue.

Rep. Bonamici tells KATU News that part of the struggle in banning asbestos is fighting the companies that make money selling it.
