Trump claimed 'exoneration.' Mueller’s report will test that
Former Obama DOJ spokesman Matt Miller said he was dumbfounded by Barr’s decision. “For him to now hold a press conference before anyone has read the report just looks like him spinning for the president yet again,” he told POLITICO.
DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the news conference was solely the department’s idea, conceived out of a desire to be as transparent as possible. Trump said in a radio interview Wednesday that he may hold his own press event later in the day, potentially before he leaves Washington, D.C., for the holiday weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida.
The spat over the logistics surrounding the public release of the Mueller report is just the latest flare-up between Democrats and Barr since the attorney general announced the end of the special counsel’s investigation on March 22. The two sides have sparred over Barr’s portrayal of Mueller’s findings, his swift decision to clear Trump on obstruction, his vague claims without publicly revealing evidence that there was “spying” on Trump’s campaign and his plans to redact the report.
Indeed, some details will remain hidden from the public on Thursday. Lawyers from the Justice Department and Mueller’s team have been redacting the report in recent weeks to black out several categories of sensitive information.
Briefing reporters Wednesday ahead of the Mueller report’s release, the senior DOJ official also said that a less-redacted version of the Mueller report will eventually be shared with select members of Congress and their aides.
