New Attorney General Barr Ending Mueller Investigation By Next Week
February 20, 2019 at 10:55am
And the announcement could come as early as next week CNN reported.
“Breaking right now on @CNN: A.G. Bill Barr “is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller’s confidential report, according to people familiar…” Brian Stelter of CNN said.
Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller’s confidential report, according to people familiar with the plans .
The preparations are the clearest indication yet that Mueller is nearly done with his almost two-year investigation.
The precise timing of the announcement is subject to change.
The scope and contours of what Barr will send to Congress remain unclear. Also unclear is how long it will take Justice officials to prepare what will be submitted to lawmakers.
But with President Donald Trump soon to travel overseas for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Justice officials are mindful of not interfering with the White House’s diplomatic efforts, which could impact the timing.
The Justice Department and the special counsel’s office declined to comment.
Barr has said that he wants to be as “transparent” as possible with Congress and the public, “consistent with the rules and the law.”
Under the special counsel regulations, Mueller must submit a “confidential” report to the attorney general at the conclusion of his work, but the rules don’t require it to be shared with Congress, or by extension, the public.
And, as Barr has made clear, the Justice Department generally guards against publicizing “derogatory” information about uncharged individuals.
Liking Bill Barr more and more.
First he sidelined Rosenstein, now this.
He was read in and brought up to speed over the last two days, and now it's leaking that we can expect a report possibly next week.
I'm reading this as he shut #Mueller down.https://t.co/tkIqoTLrD5
