JUST IN: Attorney General Bill Barr, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein to hold press conference on expected release of redacted Mueller report Thursday at 9:30 a.m., Justice Dept. says.
said on Wednesday, a day before the highly anticipated report from special counsel Robert Mueller report is set to be made public, that he might hold a news conference after the report is expected to be released Thursday morning.
Trump's comments came in an interview on WMAL's "Larry O'Connor Show" in which he also revealed that Attorney General William Barr would hold a news conference as well. Shortly afterward, the Justice Department confirmed that Barr would answer questions from reporters at 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning although it still hasn't commented on when the Mueller report will be made public.
He also offered praise for his new attorney general broadly, saying of Barr that “he’s been a fantastic attorney general, he’s grabbed it by the horn.”
