Hello again, everyone. Thanks so much for being with me. At any moment now Attorney General william barr is expected to release the main conclusions from the Mueller Report to congress. We are hearing that it is coming today. Barr is at the u. S. Justice department right now with Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein reviewing the report. The president , well, he just returned to maralago just moments ago after spending the day at his golf club in west palm beach, florida while he, too, awaits the brief. Cnn has a team of reporters and analysts standing by who have covered this story for nearly two years now. Lets go to cakara scannell. The Deputy Attorney general and
the Attorney General about to release the details. In what way will they be released, do you know . We do expect the report to be delivered today, thats bill barrs report from the Principal Conclusions of the mueller investigation. That is expected to happen today, but the Big Questions still loom of what will we learn i
obviously the special counsel said there was none. but it doesn t explain a lot of the bread crumbs that were spread out throughout the filings. why did paul manafort share polling data with a russian intel agent? why did rod rosenstein say in his memo that was unredacted that mueller account investigation collusion as it pertained to manafort and his meetings with russians? it didn t answer a lot of those questions we ve had on the team, and that, i think, is what democrats are going to be pressing for. also the fact it says there s not evidence to conclude the president committed a crime on obstruction, but it doesn t exonerate him. they re probably going to seize on the fact that, look, the attorney general determined this, not mueller. mueller did not determine it like he did on collusion, saying there was no collusion with russians and the trump campaign. they left it up to the attorney general. as we re reviewing all this, we should note we haven t heard from president trump
the president said the public should see the final report. how is that for a flip? a new poll shows that public agrees 87%. and who are these people that don t think it should be made public? attorney general william barr is not obligated to do so legally. was the president, through his business dealings or otherwise compromised by russia? anyone else, donald trump jr., prince, whoever? be charged. why did manafort share polling data with a russian intelligence operative. and why has the president attacked the investigation? let s take a look. regardless of recommendation i was going to fire comey knowing there was no good time to do it. and in fact when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, you know this russia thing with
and when did he know it? when did you learn about the don jr. meeting, mr. president? reporter: question two, why did paul manafort share polling data with russian konstantin kilimnik? here is the campaign chairman meeting with someone associated with russian intelligence. offering polling data. why is that being provided to the russians and why did they lie about it? did you know that paul manafort was sharing polling data from your campaign with the russian? no. i didn t know anything about it. nothing about it. reporter: question three was president trump compromised by his business dealings with russia including building a trump tower in moscow? his former lawyer and fixer, michael cohen, facing jail in just over two months, has been providing information to federal prosecutors about the trump organization. and will testify before three congressional committees this week. the man doesn t tell the truth. it s sad. that i should take responsibility for his dirty deeds.
