Mueller’s Investigation Into The Trump Campaign Is Finished, But It Isn’t Public – Yet
that Ty Cobb, who was serving in the White House’s counsel’s office at the time, was optimistic that Mueller’s investigation would be over by the end of the year.
Although Mueller’s report is “confidential,” Barr will have discretion to make all or parts of it public. In a rare show of bipartisanship concerning the special counsel investigation, the House of Representatives voted 420–0 on March 14 to urge Barr to make Mueller’s report public. It was a resolution, which isn’t binding on the Justice Department but reflects the intense public pressure on Barr.
“I also believe it is very important that the public and Congress be informed of the results of the special counsel’s work. For that reason, my goal will be to provide as much transparency as I can consistent with the law,” Barr said. “I can assure you that, where judgments are to be made by me, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and will let no personal, political, or other improper interests influence my decision.
Barr can make his report to Congress public if it “would be in the public interest.” There is no rule that would block Congress from releasing whatever Barr sends, unless it includes classified information.Mueller was appointed by Rosenstein in May 2017 as special counsel to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and whether there was collusion with Trump’s campaign.
