Asked whether White House has seen or been briefed on Mueller report, AG Barr says, 'I've said what I'm going to say about the report today.' 'I'm not going to say anything more about it until the report is out and everyone has a chance to look at it.'
Attorney General Bill Barr on Tuesday defended his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report, saying he believes it is "important" for the public "to learn the results" of Mueller's wide-ranging probe and to make as much information public as possible.
Barr said a redacted version of Mueller's full report, totaling nearly 400 pages, will be released sometime "within a week." Rep. Nita Lowey, a New York Democrat, said the "principal conclusions" Barr released two weeks ago, including his determination that no obstruction-of-justice charges are warranted against President Donald Trump, seemed "to cherry pick from the report to draw the most favorable conclusion possible for the President.
According to Barr, Mueller and his team "had been interacting with the deputy attorney general and lawyers supporting the deputy attorney general in his supervision of the special counsel," and more than a month ago, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein met with Mueller's team for "a preliminary discussion about the report," so the Justice Department had an idea of what "was coming our direction," Barr said.
