WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump took a victory lap after special counsel Robert Mueller concluded his Russia investigation. It may have been premature.

"You're darn right I'm going after them again," Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump's attorneys, told The Associated Press."I never thought they did their job in a professional manner. ... Only because there is overwhelming evidence that the president didn't do anything wrong, they were forced to admit they couldn't find anything on him. They sure tried."
While the president unleashed his personal grievances, his team seized on any exculpatory information in Barr's letter, hoping to swiftly define the conversation, according to six White House officials and outside advisers who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss private deliberations.Trump's inner circle knows there will likely be further releases of embarrassing or politically damaging information.
"I personally believe not all of it is going to be great for the White House," Burr said. He added that he didn't know what's in the Mueller report,"but there are going to be things that maybe cause some people to say, 'Oh, gosh, I didn't know that existed.' Now, does it reach a threshold? Apparently not."
