Attorney General Barr to release Mueller report 'within a week'
WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr told lawmakers on Tuesday that he intends to release within a week a redacted version of the long-awaited report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election from Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
“I don’t intend at this stage to send the full unredacted report to the committee,” Barr told a House of Representatives Appropriations subcommittee. “I am relying on my own discretion to make as much public as I can.” Barr said on Tuesday: “I don’t intend at this stage to send the full unredacted report to the committee.”Redacted official documents or reports typically have sections blacked out to protect sensitive information.
Barr left open the possibility that some members of Congress would be allowed to review secret information from the report in a safe setting. Nita Lowey, chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, said Barr’s letter summarizing the Mueller report appears to “cherry-pick from the report to draw the most favorable conclusion possible for the president.”The New York Times and the Washington Post reported last week that some investigators on Mueller’s team were unhappy with the way Barr described their findings. The reports said that some of the evidence against Trump was more damning than Barr’s letter indicated.
