Attorney General William Barr on Friday told lawmakers that he expects to have a public report of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe findings by mid-April and that President Trump has deferred to him to decide what makes it into the redacted document.
"Our progress is such that I anticipate we will be in a position to release the report by mid-April, if not sooner," Barr wrote to House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
"Although the President would have the right to assert privilege over certain parts of the report, he has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me and, accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review," Barr wrote.
Barr said Mueller's report is "nearly 400 pages long (exclusive of tables and appendices) and sets forth the Special Counsel's findings, his analysis, and the reasons for his conclusions."
