Mueller report coming Thursday
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report will be released on Thursday morning, a Justice Department spokesperson said.
Democrats in Congress have been insisting on the release of the full report, but Attorney General William Barr has said that certain information — like grand jury material and information relating to other ongoing investigations — will be redacted from the document.
Barr sent a letter to Congress late last month announcing the end of Mueller’s probe and outlining the core conclusions of the special counsel’s investigation, including a finding that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia during the 2016 election.
The attorney general also wrote in that letter that Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether President Trump obstructed justice, but said that he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined that the evidence was not sufficient to bring forward such a charge.
Barr had said last week during his testimony before a House panel that the report would be released “within a week,” and told senators the next day that it would come out “next week.”
The report’s release has been highly anticipated, as it’s expected to include the findings of Mueller’s 22 month-long investigation, as well as the evidence collected by investigators.
