Attorney General William Barr says he is committed to providing 'the greatest degree of transparency' that is 'consistent with the law.'
of special counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report, Attorney General Willaim Barr said he was committed to providing "the greatest degree possible of transparency concerning the special counsel's investigation consistent with the law.""
"In other words, there was no evidence of the Trump campaign’s collusion of the Russian government’s hacking." he said. “Although the deputy attorney general and I disagreed with some of the special counsel's legal theories and felt it didn't amount to obstruction in a matter of law we didn't rely on that. We accepted the special counsel's legal framework for purposes of our analysis and evaluated the evidence in reaching our conclusions.”
Executive privilege can be claimed by the president to withhold communications between him and his advisers. Barr will discuss whether it was invoked during the press conference, Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said. “Attorney General Barr will be giving a press conference, maybe I’ll do one after that, we’ll see,” the president said during a radio interview on WMAL's “The Larry O’Connor Show.” The Justice Department soon confirmed that a press conference would be held at 9:30 a.m. the following morning.
In a joint statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Barr's handing of the report release has created a "crisis of confidence in his independence and impartiality." In order to restore trust, they said, Mueller must testify before Congress.
