(CBS NEWS) – Attorney General William Barr hopes to release special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, with redactions, “within a week,” he told members of a House Appropriations subcommittee Tuesday.
Barr had said he expects to release the full report by mid-April, after releasing a four-page summary of Mueller’s report that Democrats deemed unsatisfactory.
The attorney general, however, is reluctant to get into details of the report, and he’s on Capitol Hill ostensibly to testify about the Justice Department’s budget.
