The report for the last 24 hours now. what are you looking for when it comes to these principle conclusions? what does that mean? >> fredricka, this is essentially going to be a summary of this confidential report that the special counsel, robert mueller, submitted to the attorney general late yesterday afternoon. we do know that attorney general bill barr, he reviewed it yesterday for a few hours but he was back at it. hes at the justice department now. he arrived here just before 10:00 this mo...

Lead us to subpoenaing documents or the special counsel himself. its setting us up for this fight that weve had and weve seen throughout washington and we know that this investigation regardless of what is in the report has shaped the presidency so far, changed everything from how he intereacts with certain lawmakers. thats why jeff sessions is no longer leading the attorney generals office. youre going to see that political divide from republicans and democrats continue to go on as we wait to f...

Released as soon as tomorrow or later to congress and the public. the principle conclusions could be there tomorrow. doj sources also say there will be no new indictments because this investigation is over. president trump and those in his orbit might still have other concerns. there are many republicans who are starting to celebrating. the president, however, is, and this is according to people close to him, actually concerned about what else is in this report even though there are no more new ...

Widely to all different justice employees here. this is going to be seen by a small group of people, possibly later by members of congress, who certainly want it and were told that could come sometime late this afternoon. gillian. gillian: oh, to be a fly on the wall of attorney general bill barrs office this morning. david, we will check back in with you later in the show. thanks for that. leland: that lack of information about what is in the report as david pointed out certainly hasnt stopped ...

The white house seems to know what is in the report. that is the concern that perhaps there could be conduct in the report about the russians, about the president, that could be unseemly. one official i spoke to today said theres any time to spike the football, so lets wait to celebrate until we see. barr could very well turn over the principals conclusions as early as tomorrow. that is why they want to wait. at the same time, bob mueller did lay out in his indictments a lot of the story in the ...

Reviewing the report and anticipate that i may be in a position to advise you of the special counsels principal conclusions as soon as this weekend. as abc news first reported yesterday, a senior department of justice official confirmed today, mueller is recommending no further indictments. ultimately, it will be up to barr to decide how much of the report is made public. at his confirmation hearing, democrats tried to nail him down. >> will you commit to making any report mueller produces at th...

Failings. >> mueller never brought charges against anyone in trumps orbit for clueding with the russians to influence the election. remains to be seen if mueller found any direct evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice, it may be detailed in the confidential report delivered to the attorney general. now, justice department guidelines say you cant indict the president of the united states, but of course we dont know what all is in muellers report. dont know if the president could have bee...

Likely send to congress a letter detailing the principal conclusions of the mueller report today but that memo could go to congress sometime tomorrow. meantime, focus is shifting from washington, d.c. to the southern district of new york where other legal threats loom over the president, his business associates and his business potentially. jacqui heinrich is in new york city with those investigations. >> reporter: the presidents legal troubles are far from over. right now, there are at least si...

To get the underlying material on which the mueller report has made their conclusions. theres more to come. >> if i am not mistaken and i dont believe i am, the chair lindsey graham, is in mar-a-lago right now with the president of the united states. how do you view -- obviously jerry nadler in the house have their role on this but mr. graham calls himself a a staunch ally with the president. how do you view the judiciary role? >> it was not always this. >> people change. >> for the public good....

Why not? >> well, what i can say is let us remember this is an investigation that the president said was a witch-hunt, its a fraud. for a witch-hunt and a fraud, its yielded 37 defendants, a circle of people around the president who have either pleaded guilty,en indicted, or on their way to prison. so, wolf, i am going to hold off and see exactly what the special counsel report yields to us. as i said, the scope of our investigation and the house of representatives is much larger, and lets just ...
