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.”

Lol!

It is the Lord's day, time to thank God for all He designed and provides, especially sending His son to reconcile man's communication with God and. forgive sins through repentance. The Holy Spirit is magnificent, the perfect teacher. Glory to God.

If GOP wants to lose more seats in 2020, they should definitely obstruct release of the report that 87% of Americans want to see?

Lace up your boots, Americans! We, ourselves, will have to kick butt to get the justice we deserve and that is owed to us. StartKickingButt

Why in heaven's name should this be a battle at all? Mueller was hired to find truth. Who believes Mueller was dishonorable? Let's get this thing cleared up! GOP SenateGOP GOPChairwoman SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff

Lock him up!

The report should be released, in entirety, to the public. Let chips fall where they may, and move on. United States citizens have a right to make their own decisions without the slant of politics and media. This has went on long enough.

Why? They should ALL want to know the truth and get it over with!

StopTheBias WakeUpAmerica WalkAway

It will never end until the haters stop hating!

Jeez....you would think all the speaking indictments over the past 1.5 yrs didn't exist. Mueller has been talking to us all along. Mueller is a HERO.

The report is unnecessary to cook this crime family. We can be certain what has been put in the report is already in the hands of other jurisdictions. They will finish ending this nightmare.

They all know that grand jury stuff cannot be released.

'It Ain't Over, 'Til It's Over'. Please Stay Tuned.

Bill Barr looks like he ate the report

If he reads like trump he is at least on page two after nine hours

TheDemocrats response...

Make it public! We deserve to know the truth and punish the perps!!

There is only one acceptable outcome. The report is released UNREDACTED to the American people. It is ours. We paid for it. It belongs to us. We didn't elect anyone to be gatekeepers.

Battles? I thought the vote was 420 to 0.

Yawn. The report is what it is. Apparently not the bombshell some were hoping. I’m sure the spin and goal post shifting will continue though. Going to be hilarious to watch the House meltdown over it.

Trump = vindicated Democrats = exposed American = GREAT AGAIN 🇺🇸

So.... I don't understand the argument the media outlets are making that the President doesn't want to release the report. He has never said such a thing, but they keep making it a point anyway. So, it is nothing more than speculation again, by these opinion networks. Rather than 'brace' they should be removing WhatsAppJared
