Dubbed "Exposing the Truth," the six-page memo was coordinated between Pelosi's office and the two House committees where Mueller will appear on Wednesday: Judiciary, chaired by Rep., and Intelligence, led by Rep. From a messaging standpoint, the operation, along with an accompanying social media campaign, is designed to put a public spotlight on both the vulnerabilities in America's election system and 's conduct before and after winning the White House, as noted by Mueller's findings.
It points out that Mueller found clear evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election for the purpose of tipping the outcome toward Trump, that members of Trump's campaign were eager to accept the foreign help and that Mueller's team found at least 10 episodes when Trump or his allies potentially obstructed the investigation.
Separately, Pelosi's office is launching a social media blitz - #RetweetTheReport - featuring more than 20 of the more striking quotes from Mueller's findings.
Democrats are hoping the campaign, combined with Mueller's testimony, will shift public sentiment in favor of efforts to hold Trump accountable and bolster election security - and force GOP leaders to act on them.
"We're wanting to show this for what it is, and that is the final episode of the Mueller report and a final episode to hopefully put this behind [us]," Rep., the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, told Fox News on Sunday.
Trump, for years, has characterized the investigation as a "Witch hunt." And he jumped into the debate again on Monday with a blistering new attack on Mueller, his investigation and the Democrats who pressed the reluctant special counsel to testify.
The aggressiveness of the Democrats' messaging campaign heading into Wednesday's hearings suggests a certain level of frustration among party leaders that Mueller's report, released in April, had virtually no tangible effect on Trump's Republican allies in terms of their approach to election security or executive accountability.
