Congress his top conclusions from the Mueller Report in mounting calls from democrats that he release the entire report. Heres nbcs justice correspondent pete williams. Reporter 22 months after he was appointed to find out whether anyone in the Trump Campaign helped the russians meddle in the election Robert Mueller has just turned in the highlyanticipated report of his investigation, signalling the end of his work as special counsel. The Justice Department notified the chairman and ranking members of the house and Senate Judiciary committee saying simply special counsel robert s. Mueller iii concluded his investigation. The letter said congress would be notified as early as this weekend about the main points of muellers work. Under the rules governing the special counsel mueller submitted his confidential report directly to the attorney general william barr and how much will he reveal . The rules call for mueller to issue a bare bones report, summarizing the cases he took to court and explaining which ones he declined to prosecute. Barr said in his confirmation hearing he understands the interest in what mueller found. Ill make as much information as i can consistent with rules and regulations that are part of the special counsel regulations. Reporter those rules dont call for making the report public at all. They say only that the attorney general should notify congress if he blocked anything special counsel want to do. Congress said they will insist to see the whole thing. We will use whatever compulsion we can and must to make sure that the public gets the full story. Reporter democrats might try to force mueller himself to testify about what his investigation concluded. Though mueller brought charges against six people connected to the Trump Campaign none of them were accused of helping russia meddle in the election. Among the Big Questions now did mueller reach any conclusions about the nature of mr. Trumps business connections with the russians . Will the report say anything about whether the firing of james comey as fbi director amounted to obstruction of justice. President trump told lester he fired comey because of the meddling of the russian investigation. I said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. Reporter will muellers story say anything about mr. Trumps hush money payment to two whom had affairs with him. What will reports say about investigations that will continue in, for example, whether the Trump Inaugural Committee illegally accepted foreign contributions. All congress is going to get for now is who was prosecuted and why. We know that mueller indicted 34 people and perhaps some limited information on who else was investigated and why. Barr says in his letter hell talk with mueller and the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein to see what else from the report can be made public and even though muellers work is done other investigations will go on. Alex. Pete williams in washington. Thank you for that. Joining me now nbc White House Correspondent kelly odonnell. Kelly, good morning to you on this saturday. We know that the president this week backed publicly releasing this Mueller Report. Whats going on at maralago as the president is waiting for the reports Main Findings . Reporter whats so unusual is after the president has been vocal and combative at so many times about the Mueller Investigation, he has been quite quiet. So its roughly 12 hours since the public became aware that the report had been submitted. No tweets from the president. There sof course, a Family Gathering at maralago. Were told he spent some time with the family on the patio at the estate having dinner. He also made a little pop in visit to an event being held at maralago for the Palm Beach Republican Party and that was not an open press event but there were people who posted on social media about the president being there and based on their accounts they claim he didnt say anything about the Mueller Investigation. He was among friends in that room, including Lindsey Graham who was the keynote speaker, floridas attorney general and many supporters who were there to donate to the cause of the local republican party. So no outward signs from the president of any concern. Now, we have heard from White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders and the president s legal team beginning with Sarah Huckabee sanders. She released a statement to us where she says that they are now awaiting next steps. This, of course, goes through the attorney general, the president s most recent cabinet pick william barr and that the white house has not received or been briefed on the report. That is notable because there are concerns expressed by democrats about the white house getting what democrats have characterized as a sneak peek of the report. Rudy giuliani has told me they are not seeking that and any decisions must be made by the department of justice. Giuliani and jay sekulow, the president s outside legal team have also released a statement. They say they welcome the release of the report to the department of justice, Robert Mueller closing his business, turning over the report to william barr and they say the next steps will be determined by the attorney general. So thats where these things stand. What stands out about that, no calls for witchhunt. No demands of no collusion. None of the typical rhetoric weve seen from the president in this earlest phase. A bit of calm. We dont yet know what next steps will be. As pete has explained, william barr may be able to brief certain members of congress on the most initial phase this weekend and then from there we dont know when the white house will know more or say more but its notable what they have not said so far. As you correctly state calm, perhaps sobering as well. So as kelly is reporting the president may not have publicly commented yet on the Mueller Report but Democratic Leaders wasted no time last night sounding off on the release. The president himself has called without qualification for the report to be made public. There is no reason on gods green earth why attorney general barr should do any less. If the Justice Department doesnt release the whole report or tries to keep parts of it secret, we will certainly subpoena the report. I do think congress and the American People should hear from bob mueller directly on the investigation, how he went about it and so forth. Congress will need the underlying evidence because some of that evidence may go to the compromise of the president or people around him that poses a real threat to our national security. I think theres a strong possibility of additional indictments, including President Trumps family. Joining me now msnbc legal analyst Danny Cevallos and former federal prosecutors doug burns and kate. Good morning on this saturday. Danny, as we heard, no further indictments or charges in the Mueller Report. So does that also mean that its unlikely we see any sealed indictments . When we wait for the release here, was mueller completely done done. The Mueller Investigation is done. But that doesnt mean that there will be there will not be other indictments that are farmed out to places like the Southern District of new york or elsewhere and that is very important for us to keep in mind that just because mueller himself has closed up shop we know already he has handed off investigations to, for example, the Southern District of new york and those investigations may continue. There may be indictments still that flow from the original Mueller Investigation, just not prosecuted by the special counsels office. Okay. So, kate, the fact that there werent any new charges do you interpret that to mean there was enough to indict but they wont do that because theres not enough to convict . Well, i think its really been a slow burn with the Mueller Report. Weve seen the indictments that have come out of that probe so i think what came out today has been all but expected on the front of any sort of collusion type stuff and any real additional indictments that could be prosecuted by special counsels office. So its hard to say that there wasnt enough evidence but i think that mueller did what he could with the information that he had on his end and then, of course, there will be continuing investigations in other arenas at this point. So, doug, i want to take what i just asked kate and put it to you. One of the big names left out was don jr. What does it tell you about the trump tower and why mueller couldnt convict on that . You made a good distinction thats worth repeating. The distinction real simple is three different categories. Did somebody do a crime . Is there evidence of it . Even if there is evidence of it is it sufficient to go forward . Those are three things to be separated out. To an your question, the fact of the matter is we dont know until we look at this report. In the report real quick, before you get to this political discussion about how much should be released and i find it odd politicians are strenuously vigorously calling for the release of something they dont know the contend of. We dont know if its a bare bones report simply listing who is indicted or fuller. Do you think it would be something i dont think it would be bare bones but the regulations only call for that. Everybody has to get back behind the ski tips to use the cliche and lets see whats in the report. Curiously, danny, this investigation concluded without interviewing the president under oath before a jury. Will others read that as a compromise of that report . Yes. Maybe more importantly its read as a massive victory for trumps team and his attorneys that they were able to prevent the president from sitting down with muellers investigators or testifying before a grand jury, which would have been an unmitigated disaster for the president. Also shows when you are the chief executive you have slightly different Bargaining Power with special counsel, with the United States attorneys, with the u. S. Government than normal defendants or targets of an investigation. Truly a victory for the trump team that they avoid the president sitting down and maybe that was purely negotiation. On the other hand, it may have been that mueller decided that he had enough information to make his determineiation without having the president sit down and that was a battle he didnt need to fight. But, you know, doug in terms of the special circumstances that would be afford a president , is it possible mueller and his team found the president did commit an indictable offense but because of Department Guidelines in the doj against it for a sitting president , they could not indict him . Thats a huge point in this discussion because what youll be hearing, you know, again the typical caveat law and politics are two different discussions. Politically youll hear two things. One you already covered. One the only reason the president is not being indicted is because of the two doj members. Thats political rhetoric. The second rhetoric is its very, very possible that the evidence simply wasnt such enbut that doesnt mean that a crime wasnt committed. Again those are all political sound bites. To your point its virtually impossible for us to know until we see sort of concrete explanations from the special counsel in his report as to which of these categories im laying out. You know was there evidence . Is it insuch en . Is it because of the two doj memos. Its worth repeating that the dorj skbloems are internal policy memos only. They dont prevent special counsel from trying to indict. I always felt Robert Mueller special counsel wouldnt push that envelope and go against the office of special counsel in the doj office of legal counsel. Wouldnt go against it. Again, i dont think its a situation only because of those memos. Kate here we have news that the investigation has come to a close. We have not learned who the senior Trump Campaign official was who directed to contact roger stone about any other additional releases and what other damaging information wikileaks had. This was in stones indictment. Why is that . Does it appear that this could have just been passed on elsewhere to another district . Well, it absolutely could have been any sort of information regarding obstruction of justice. Still something thats a very open question, i believe. With the stone indictment we have to remember that as much as people wanted to find that connection to russia, this really just turned into a matter of roger stone having lied in the course of the investigation. That really all he was charged with, not actually having any of these connections. So theres a lot of open questions that are still out there about what maybe even President Trump knew about certain conversations that took place. But that all falls into the realm of the process crimes ideas. I want to ask this next question of all three of you. What do you believe is the biggest information that a. G. Barr need to address. A. G. Barr has to start addressing the questions everybody is thirsting for. What were the specific conclusions by the special counsel on the question of whether there was collusion between the trump 2016 campaign and the russians. Then in fairness also viable to say as my colleague just pointed out what if any evidence was developed about obstruction of justice going through the statute and specific corrupt intent. And then a little bit about offshoots and these process crimes and people who were untruthful and lied. As my colleagues said in many of those instance it was the process crime not the underlying crimes. The main point is a specific explanation as to what was found with respect to the question of collusion, alex. Yep. Danny, your thoughts . Did the president commit a crime . And if there was evidence that the president committed a crime, what are the reasons for declining to institute excuse me. What are the reasons for declining to prosecute . And are they because the chief executive cannot be prosecuted while in office or as barr has suggested that when the president fires someone like james comey, its not obstruction. Those are the main questions i think that everybody wants answers to. Last word to you, kate. I completely agree. Everybody wants to know was there collusion with russia. What did President Trump know. Did he mitt any crimes . Thats the bottom line with this. Thats what the American People want to know. I think thats a fair question to be asked at this point. Okay.

Congress is going to need the underlying evidence because he some of that evidence may go the compromise of the president or people around him that poses a real threat to our national security. If the Justice Department doesnt release the whole report or tries to keep parts of it secret, we will certainly subpoena the parts of the report and well reserve the right to call mueller to testify before the committee or to subpoena him. The Mueller Report may to be done but you heard it there. The chairs of the house judiciary and Intelligence Committee are demanding to see the report. We welcome you both on this saturday morning. Ill go to you first, collin. Are there any expectations we would learn anything today . Is there a chance william barr will provide anything and how would that look . What do we know about that what he would give to congress . Thats a great question. I think were still well learn over the course of the weekend how much congress will be notified early on. I think its probably going to be more top level, but well see. I think anybody who says with a high degree of certainty right now how this will play out over the course of the weekend is just kind of speculating and well actually see by sunday how much comes out. What about some in any sense how the Mueller Report information can or may fit into all of the congressional investigations . Are there key aspects to look for that specifically are the underlying evidence that adam schiff is looking for . Right. So i think the reason that people like adam schiff and jerry nadler are asking for the underlying evidence is because theres concerns if barr, if a. G. Barr felt like there was some information in the Mueller Report that should not be made public because of current doj policy he may very well choose to sit on that information because he doesnt feel he would be permitted to release it to congress and the public. Thats why were seeing lawmakers asking for this underlying evidence. Its important to remember that theres a precedent here that actually republican lawmakers set when they demanded the underlying evidence for the russia investigation for the infamous nunez memo. You might see push back from republican lawmakers saying okay we have the Mueller Report so why are democrats taking it a step further . Its critical to remember that this whole back and forth began with people like davevon nunez. The special counsel did not compel the president to sit down for an interview under oath. What does that say to you and how much of a focus is that potentially for democrats in congress . Its certainly a focus for democrats in congress. They will be certain ly sorr. Basically, i think theres a lot out there already that the president has said about this investigation, and i think they are probably going to drill down on that. Like what . Except being a witch00 and grossly unfair what has the president said of substance about it . Certainly he gave that interview about the firing of james comey to lester holt. I think thats in the Public Record and that certainly is something pertinent to this entire investigation. Okay. So on that point lets take a listen to what the president has been saying recently about the Mueller Report. Here it is, everyone. There won be and if there is it will only play to our advantage. Now i have somebody writing a report that never got a vote . Explain that. My voters dont get it. Its interesting a man out of the blue just write as report. You know why i won the race i was a better candidate than she was. Had nothing to do with russia. We had a great election. Were waiting for a report by people who werent elected. Now they are trying to take you out with [ bleep ] okay, what does this tell you about how the president is trying to frame the Mueller Report, how hes trying to spin things to his base and just generally speaking. I think most of washington, including the white house is kind of in the dark right now because nobody knows for sure what the Mueller Report will say. However, the white house is already spinning this as a win because we found out yesterday that mueller will not be recommending any more criminal charges or indictments. However, its important to remember that just because he doesnt recommend any more criminal charges doesnt mean he didnt find evidence of wrongdoing and that kind of gets to the point of why so many lawmakers are demanding the report in its entirety instead of barrs summary of it. Theres this doj policy that says if you dont bring criminal charges against someone you dont release information about them. When prosecutors decline to bring charges against someone they typically write a lengthy memo explaining exactly what they found and why they dont believe it rose to the level of criminal conduct. So will barr release that . Well see. Either this weekend or going forward. Okay, you guys, thank you so much for weighing in.

The Mueller Team Spent 674 days investigating the president s campaign ties to russia. 34 people have been charged. Seven have pleaded guilty. Five have been sentenced to prison time. Prosecutors also looked at President Trumps russian business interests. Russias overtures to assist trump. Russian hacking of dnc and russians nationals waging a Disinformation Campaign during the 2016 election. The president however maintains there was no collusion. So just to give you now an idea of the timeline of how this report was submitted. Attorney general bill barr received the report before 4 00 p. M. Yesterday. At 4 30 Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein thanked special counsel Robert Mueller by phone. The attorney generals chief of staff informed the president s attorney. That the report had been submitted and then at 5 00 p. M. Congressional committees received that letter from attorney general barr. Joining me now nbc associate producer charlie giles. Good morning to you. Youve been covering the special counsel here very closely. You got the report thats been submitted now. Is it over for mueller now . Is it done . As a practical matter, yes, it is over, no more indictments that are going to be brought by the special counsel, sealed or otherwise. The special counsel could have referred other matters to other jurisdictions for them to prosecute, but obviously that remains to be seen. Theres speculation about a sealed indictment in the Eastern District of virginia against Julian Assange, but now that this thing has wrapped up it appear that if those charges are ever drawn up they were drawn up by another group. Okay. So what are we still expected to see . Lets look at the specific case of Paul Manafort, rick gates, you mentioned roger stone. Look at those. Whats coming down the pike for them . Yeah. Well, obviously, Paul Manafort had charges brought against him almost immediately after his sentencing here in d. C. Those charges were in the Southern District of new york. That will be taken to trial unless he pleads. We still have Michael Flynn who was the first person charged by the special counsel. Hes still yet to be sentenced. Recently his legal team asked for an extension of time because he was still cooperating. Now that special counsel Robert Mueller wrapped up his investigation. I would expect a sentencing date to be set soon. The same goes for rick gates who testified against Paul Manafort. The big thing we have left is roger stone. That case will be handled by the u. S. Attorneys office and the district of columbia, but the judge recently set a november 5th trial date. We expect to see him in court for all the pretrial hearings and for somebody who is skating very close to violating his gag order. We could see him back in occurred. George papadopoulos was sentenced to time behind bars. Hes now. You have been on the front lines of this history making story as you reflect on all this. Whats the one thing youll never forget while covering this . Well, i saw a tweet yesterday that said maybe the true Mueller Report is the friend we made along the way and in a sense its true. Theres a contingent of reporters that cover the courts and weve grown close over the last 18 months or 22 months, i guess. But truly covering the manafort trial was something ill never forget. There are no phones allowed in the courthouse, no laptops in the Eastern District of virginia so everybody had to revert to pen and pad and some reporters had to use even a pay phone. But you guys compared notes . I remember hearing the same thing yesterday that youre saying the camaraderie, would you guys compare notes, competing correspondents . Sure, yeah. Oftentimes when were trying to get a quote right, everybody just wants to be accurate. Yeah, sometimes youll compare with cbs or cnn or buzzfeed. We help each other out. Thank you for helping us out. Thank you. So among those sounding off on the Mueller Report were 2020 Democratic Candidates who were quick to comment on the special counsel as they hit the campaign trail on friday night. We have to know how foreign governments sought to undermine our countrys democracy. We need to know if campaigns colluded with those governments. We need to understand the pursuit of justice whether it was obstructed or some tried to obstruct it. That report needs to be made public. The American People have a right and a need to know. The attorney general barr should be called to testify under oath before the United States congress. And the white house should not be allowed to interfere in anyway in interpreting or presenting the information to the American People. Its absolutely imperative that the Trump Administration make that report public as soon as possible. And the Mueller Report is done but the investigations are far from over. Why hope hicks could be a crucial source for what the house Judiciary Committee wants to know . First heres a quick programming note. Heres the proof, everyone.

The president himself has called without qualification for the report to be made public. There is no reason on gods green earth why attorney general barr should do any less. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer using the president s own words to retook the news that special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report to bill barr. Lets bring in former Senior Adviser to Hillary Clintons campaign and conservative talk show host. A. G. Barr wrote in his letter to the senate and house judiciary leaders he may be in a position to advise them of principle conclusions as soon as this weekend. He intends to consult with the deputy a. G. Rod rosenstein also Robert Mueller to determine what other kind of information should be released. Should democrats be comforted or bracing for a fight. Definitely be bracing for a fight. Donald trump does not appoint anyone would who will not be loyal to donald trump regardless of what he may say. At the end of the day republicans and president want to play hide and go seek and democrats want transparency. We should be very clear and upfront about what we want. Thank god for the midterms because now we have not only a Democratic Congress that can haul people in for investigations and flush things out but we have the Southern District here in new york in which well, im sure, hear more from them in the coming days and weeks. Im bracing myself for a fight. The republicans have set precedent about releasing information per the devon nunez memo so i think we should buckle down. I do want democrats to be very careful about how we deal with this politically because we cannot take our eye off the ball and assume this will change the hearts and minds of people who voted for donald trump. We heard from trump allies. They were celebrating the conclusion of muellers investigation yesterday, especially congressman mark meadows who said in a tweet, cheering the absence of a collusion related indictment. Are they celebrating prematurely . We do not know what the report found. We do knot know if other indictments could be coming from other investigations that spun off the Mueller Probe . Its unlikely youll see indictments coming out of the Mueller Probe and unlikely youll see any type of collusion. What youll see is President Trump playing the martyr from here on out. This will be the subject of numerous speeches that he gives going into the 2020 campaign concerning the fact that weve spent millions and millions of dollars on this investigation and that theres been no collusion found whatsoever. I think if there was collusion, for some reason my gut instinct tells me it would have leaked out. And the fact that theres no indictments is a strong signal that they didnt find anything. As we went from collusion, theres no collusion, to when there was panic in the republican party, collusion is not a crime. Now here we are celebrating, doing toe touches of victory laps because we assume something in the report says no collusion. What we dont know is what we dont know. So we should just sit tight, put our seat belts on and enjoy the ride until we know what we know. No one is sitting tight. What about other indictments that could spin off . That was the second part of my question from the Mueller Probe. Theres possibly the Julian Assange connection. Of course, roger stone is out there waiting to be tried. But i think everything that has spun from this investigation has already been indicted. Youve had, you know, 34 people charged, including the russians, so i dont see that youre going to have any further indictments, which means likely that trump is not going indicted. Even if he was indicted or if there was some suggestion he had done something wrong attorney general barr has said he doesnt believe a sitting president can be prosecuted. He can be impeached but he cant be prosecuted. There lies the problem. What you dont know and what none of us know is what else may come as all the other pockets of we have out here doing an investigation, like the Southern District of new york, like the Democratic Controlled Congress. So i think its premature to give the benediction to this scenario and its laughable that republicans are doing victory laps about it. No charges against donald trump jr. , nor jared kushner. Not yet. Not yet. Again, theres some ongoing investigations happening still and so we just dont know what we dont know. And, again, we do not know whats in the report that could lead to further flushing out of these people possibly being indicted by another entity. Aesthetic, i think the vulnerability for President Trump lies in the hush money payments to stormy daniels. If theres going to be an indictment it will probably have something to do with Campaign Finance reform. Interesting point. What about the republican leader. Last night they were joining calls for as much transparency as possible. What does transparency mean to them . Is it conditional on the conclusions because democrats want to see all the evidence that led mueller to reach the conclusions in this report. Yet house intel chairman adam schiff floated the idea of subpoena to mueller if needed. Transparency naens attorney general barr releases his conclusions about the report and not necessarily the detail. The problem is when they do memos concerning the reasons why they are declining to prosecute someone they put in a lot of information which may just be rumor libellous. You made the point that the president will say how many millions of dollars this cost. The American People paid for it. Dont they deserve, if they want, to and certainly surveys and polls have shown that the American Public wants this released. Dont they deserve because they paid for it to see everything . Not necessarily. Because of the fact youre dealing with individuals. Youre dealing with individuals who are accused of crimes or not. And you cant go out and just put out false or defamatory information about people just because they are public figures. You have to have some basis for doing it and if they are not indicted they shouldnt release all of the gory details. The public doesnt have to have that kind of information to find out that there was no collusion. You can rest assured if the roles were reversed and this was anything to do with barack obama or any other democrat, the republicans will be breaking speed limits right at political stop signs to assure this information was released to the public and im sure if the roles were reversed it would have been released the same time in which the report was issued. Lets not fool ourselves and lets not play this whole game of hypocrisy that republicans tend to play. What do you read in the fact that mueller wrapped up this investigation without interviewing the president . I think he wants to do his job. I think that first of all, i think hes trustworthy and regardless the picture the republicans tried to paint i think mueller is very trustworthy. Perhaps there was nothing in his finding that would force him to interview the president. Again we do not know what other entities may be involved or what they are doing. I dont want to give the premature benediction to this entire process because his report was released. Timing wise, how doan do you think a. G. Barr will release his findings or memo to congress . This weekend or monday. I think they will release the report to the public or at least the portions of the report they will release early next week. Then get ready for a couple of years, maybe of talking about this further, and calling it a witchhunt, discussing the enormous amount of money being used and also the fact that donald trump will definitely talk about how hes been persecuted this entire time without cause. I hope legislatively oversight will take this course and i hope the Democratic Controlled Congress will do everything they can to provide transparency in an environment in which republicans want to play hide and go seek. The only thing democrats can do that would be worse is to start impeachment process because that, again, would be an enormous waste of money and weve already spent millions of dollars on this investigation. All right, guys, i got to wrap it. Well wrap it up for now. Ill see you again, no doubt. Justice Department Regulations are followed the chances of the president coming out unscathed might be pretty good. My next guest will explain why. Y actually went to law school, so i called him.

I am going to make as much Information Available as i can consistent with the rules and regulations. So its been 22 months and after 37 charges, new questions have reemerged about how much u. S. Attorney general william barr will reveal and if he will try to bury the report. Joining me is the author of that article. The staff news writer for the hive. You say if barr and mueller follow doj restrictions, trump might come out unblemished. How likely after the long investigation the president comes out unscathed . You look at doj guidelines and what they say is, you know, one, you cant indict a sitting president. Also, you cant disparage publicly an individual who maybe was part of an investigation, but wasnt ultimately charged. I think one of the questions is right now is what behavior Robert Mueller looked at of the president s. What he found. Whether we will see that, you know, despite the really Massive Public interest in it. The question is will we be able to see, you know, how mueller reached that conclusion . I think there is a question as to what rises to criminality over what is constitutional. Barr said he will announce to congress this weekend. How hard a fight would that be . I think one of the interesting things about what barr said during the confirmation hearings is he stressed the idea of a confidential report. The Mueller Report or special counsel report would be confidential. I think one of the concerns right now is whether it is top line summary as to here are the people i indicted and here is why. Not delve into what he found with the other individuals. Trump world characters eensnare in the investigation. What are members telling you about the strategy and any plans for committees to call any of the trump children to testify . Absolutely. An interesti in bringing the trump children before congress. Specifically with the batch of 81 document requests that the Judiciary Committee sent out. You saw eric trump on there and donald trump jr. Jared kushner was among that list of names. There is an interest in ivanka in terms of the broader question of White House Security clearance. Those areas are certainly something where were going to see congressional committees interested in learning more information. Specifically as to whether and why the president may have overridden career professionals with the recommendations providing security clearance to ivanka and jared. And john kelly. What is the likelihood he gets called to testify . One of the things i was speaking with a number of Congress Folks about this. They do expect that. Trying to bring john kelly before the committee will result in a subpoena fight. This idea they believe he might claim executive privilege or they really have to resort to a subpoena to bring him forward. Obviously john kelly, talking about the security clearance issue, he wrote a contemporaneous memo outlining his concerns of the process and the president s request to make sure his soninlaw and daughter received security clearance. All right. Abigail tracy. I know you will be back soon. Thank you. Congress hopes and waits for the Mueller Report. How much of the report do lawmakers expect to receive .
