All eyes are now on Attorney General William Barr, who is tasked with analyzing the report and deciding what portions of it can be shared with Congress and ultimately the public. He's expected to deliver those characterizationsDemocrats have made clear that they want the entire report, as well as the underlying documents that support it, to be made public.
Much of Mueller's work has already played out somewhat in the public sphere, with the investigation triggering the indictments of 34 people, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort; former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn; former lawyer Michael Cohen; as well as a handful of Russians Mueller says interfered with the 2016 election.
"We know that many of the president's closest associates, his national security adviser, campaign manager, et cetera, have been convicted of various crimes. And we know that he's waged a relentless two-year campaign to attack law enforcement institutions." There are active investigations in the House Oversight Committee, as well as in the House and Senate Intelligence Committee and in state attorneys general offices.
