(WRN) -Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind says the contents of the Mueller report are troubling, and that more needs to be done about Russian influence.Congressman Ron Kind says the Mueller report continues to raise questions as congressional oversight committees start their own investigations. He says the Report is clear in its statements that Russian agents did their best to conspire with the White House to get President Trump elected.
"I mean there were over 137 contacts between Trump campaign people with Russian agents. And just because it didn't rise to a level of criminal conspiracy should nonetheless worry all of us. And it should worry the White House too."
He also says President Trump needs to take Russian interference in the elections more seriously.
"He and all of us in Congress take a Constitutional oath to defend our country against enemies, foreign and domestic. And right now he's refusing to live up to that responsibility to protect us from another foreign attack in our election system."
He says the lack of action from the Administration is troubling, and that former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen tried to raise an alarm about elections security.
"She was told 'Don't bring it up to the President of the United States.' That's mind boggling."
He says he'll be calling for a full unredacted version of the report to be released to Congress.
