Here, the author used the original form of the verb submit after the single project. Does "demand that the president submit to interrogation" mean "demand that the president will submit to interrogation??
===================
Shortly after William Barr released his four-page “summary” of the 300-page Mueller report, in which he took it upon himself not to charge Donald Trump with obstructing justice despite the fact that the special counsel’s findings revealed he might have, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Democrats that there was no reason to trust anything the attorney general said. Barr‘s words, she told her colleagues, “cannot be taken at face value,” in light of the fact that he literally got his current job by sending an unsolicited 19-page memo to the Justice Department last June in which he called Robert Mueller’s obstruction inquiry “fatally misconceived,” described the investigation as a whole as “grossly irresponsible,” and insisted Mueller “should not be permitted to demand that the president submit to interrogation about alleged obstruction.” In other words, as Pelosi implied, he was obviously going to let Trump off the hook.
