Congress will receive Mueller report before noon Thursday, after Attorney General Barr's news conference, Justice Department official says.
Attorney General William Barr leaves his home in McLean, Va., on Wednesday morning, April 17, 2019. Special counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report on Russian interference in the 2016 election is expected to be released publicly on Thursday and has said he is redacting four types of information from the report. Congressional Democrats are demanding to see the whole document and its evidence.
Barr will hold a 9:30 a.m. news conference accompanied by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversaw the investigation after Mueller’s appointment in May 2017. But Mueller and other members of his team will not attend, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said. “Barr shouldn’t be spinning the report at all, but it’s doubly outrageous he’s doing it before America is given a chance to read it,” Schumer said.
The report’s release will be a test of Barr’s credibility as the public and Congress judge whether he is using his post to protect Trump, who said Wednesday he may take questions about the report after its release.
