Under the regulations used to appoint Mueller, Barr is required to tell Congress if DOJ leaders refused any requests by Mueller to take specific actions. However, Barr said there were 'no such instances during the Special Counsel’s investigation.'
Barr's letter to congressional leaders was hand delivered to the House and Senate Judiciary committees around 5 p.m. by Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd, according to Kupec.The White House said it had not yet "received or been briefed on the Special Counsel’s report," according to press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Kupec declined to say whether some or all of the report will be shared with the White House in the coming days. Trump and his team have had to repeatedly confront serious questions about the president’s relationship with former associates and aides who Mueller charged with federal crimes. And after Mueller accused Moscow of orchestrating an expansive disinformation campaign during the election to help the reality TV star — confirming the findings of American intelligence agencies — the White House has had to answer constant queries about the president’s personal indebtedness to Russia.
The next steps are up to Attorney General Barr, and we look forward to the process taking its course. The White House has not received or been briefed on the Special Counsel’s report.Trump’s personal lawyers in a joint statement kept their message contrite.
