What happens now that Mueller report is finally in the hands of Attorney General Barr? And will the public ever see it?
Special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and submitted his report to the Justice Department for review by Attorney General William Barr.

Tasos Katopodis/Getty ImagesBarr, who has overseen the investigation, has said he wants to release as much information to the general public as possible, but he will ultimately decide and likely write the memo that the public sees. That means that what we end up reading will be in his words, not Mueller’s, Barr said during a hearing last month.
Barr said that there will likely be two reports in the end, a confidential version meant for high-ranking DOJ officials and another for ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary committees and the public. The level of detail in the Congressional memo is also unclear, as Barr is only required by law to tell Congress that the investigation has concluded and describe any situations where he believed Mueller’s recommendations were unwarranted and were not be pursued.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, has suggested that he might try to do just that. House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, also a Democrat, has said that he will attempt to subpoena all of the information that went into the report, including interview transcripts.
