Attorney General William P Barr said he will deliver the Mueller report to Congress and the public within a week, reiterating his earlier promise to release it by mid-April. Barr told a House subcommittee Tuesday that the redactions process was going "very well," and he would use color-coded categories and explain the rationale for the redactions that are made from Mueller's nearly 400-page report.
But he said he would not accede to Democrats' demands that he provide the full, unredacted report to Congress, arguing that he cannot legally release grand jury material and that he did not plan to ask a court to release it. "Within a week, I will be in position to release that report to the public and then I will engage with the chairmen of both judiciary committees about that report, about any further requests that they have," Barr said.
