Congress won't get Mueller report until after Barr press conference

The Department of Justice (DOJ) won't deliver the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report to Congress until after a press conference from Attorney General William Barr, a Democratic aide told The Hill.

The aide said lawmakers on Capitol Hill would receive the report at 11 a.m. on Thursday, more than an hour after Barr is expected to begin his press conference.

The decision immediately led to complaints from Democrats and criticism from the media, which said it would allow the administration to spin news favorably for the White House before anyone sees Mueller's full report.

Barr had already come under criticism from Democrats for delaying the release of Mueller's full report.
After the report was delivered to his office, he issued a four-page letter two days later that said Mueller had not found evidence of a conspiracy between Moscow and Trump's campaign and that the special counsel did not make a decision on whether there should be a charge of obstruction of justice against the president.
