WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday defended its handling of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report examining contacts between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia as it faced increased pressure to make the document public.
Congressional Democrats also have demanded the report’s quick release in its entirety. Barr, appointed by the Republican president, has pledged to release a redacted version by mid-April. While Mueller did not exonerate Trump, Barr said he then concluded there was not enough evidence to show that Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice.
The Post reported that Mueller’s staff prepared summaries for each section of the report free of confidential information that might require redaction, with the goal that Barr could release them to the public.
