Findings of Trump-Russia report expected to be released by US Attorney General on Sunday as Democrats vow further probes
- William Barr is expected to deliver summary of Robert Mueller’s report to Congress and the public by the end of the weekend
- Donald Trump is yet to commented on the report
US Attorney General William Barr pored over a special counsel report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Moscow, and was due to release key findings perhaps as early as Sunday.
Barr, the top US law enforcement official, aimed to transmit to Congress and the public a summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report by the end of the weekend.
He will not deliver the summary on Saturday, a Justice Department official said, leaving it likely that he will do so on Sunday.
There appeared to be initial good news for President Donald Trump and his inner circle, as Mueller did not bring any new indictments when handing over his report to Barr on Friday after a probe of almost two years.
That signals there might be no more criminal charges against Trump associates on the issue of whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to help ensure the Republican businessman’s surprise election win against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
