Mueller delivers report, ending investigation

Robert Mueller has delivered his confidential report to Attorney General William Barr, signaling the end of a two-year investigation that has dominated President Trump’s term in office.

Barr told the House and Senate Judiciary Committees that he is reviewing the report and “may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend,” according to a letter circulated by the Justice Department.

Barr said he intends to consult with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Mueller “to determine what information from the report can be released to Congress and the public consistent with the law.”

The White House said Trump has not been briefed on the report.

“The next steps are up to Attorney General Barr, and we look forward to the process taking its course,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. “The White House has not received or been briefed on the Special Counsel’s report.”

Trump’s personal attorneys, Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow, also said they were awaiting Barr’s decision.

Mueller has not recommended any future indictments, according to multiple reports.

A long two years: The Mueller probe began shortly after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, who was in charge of the bureau’s original probe. Mueller’s investigation explored the possibility of collusion in the 2016 presidential election between Moscow and Trump’s campaign, and whether Trump obstructed justice.
