Mueller submitted a confidential report Friday to Attorney General William P. Barr, who is reviewing the document and has notified congressional leaders that he will soon send them a summary of Mueller’s “principal conclusions.” Officials have said those conclusions could be shared as early as Sunday.
“They’re working basically hand in hand,” a Justice Department official said on condition of anonymity to share general insights about the attorney general’s process, adding that very few people know the report’s contents, but described it as a “comprehensive” document. On Saturday, officials said that one of those cases — that of Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates — will be transferred from the special counsel’s office to federal prosecutors in Washington. Gates pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy and lying to the FBI, and he continues to cooperate with prosecutors while awaiting sentencing.
Rep. Jamie B. Raskin said in an interview that the “main goal” and “number one objective” of House Democrats “is to make certain that the attorney general releases the entire Mueller report and all of the underlying evidence that it is built on.”
