Schumer accused Graham of using a "pretext" to block the resolution.

The vote this week came as lawmakers, particularly Democrats, have increased their calls for Mueller's final report to be released to Congress and made public.

Mueller is investigating Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election as well as possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

There has been much speculation surrounding when Mueller will release his findings, particularly after leadership changes at the DOJ.

William Barr was confirmed as attorney general last month to oversee the special counsel, and he has said he will push to allow as much of Mueller's report to be released as possible.

Trump has repeatedly called the probe a "witch hunt" and insisted that he did not collude with Russia.
