As Washington D.C. politicians brace for the expected release of Mueller's full report, the White House reportedly only has a 'bare-bones' plan for handling the document.
As Washington D.C. politicians brace themselves for the expected release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report, the White House reportedly only has a “bare-bones” plan in place for handling the document: Speed reading the almost 400-page redacted report and zeroing in on two unanswered questions.
As the White House has not requested to see the report in advance, Oval Office counsel Emmet T. Flood will be tasked with the job of reading the report and briefing Trump with its contents, the Times reported. The president’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow refused to disclose how they will tackle the redacted report — which Barr is expected to deliver this week — though he told the newspaper it will be similar to how they responded to Barr’s summary sent to Congress.
In order to distract from unanswered questions about Mueller’s report, Trump reportedly revived a proposal which was previously been rejected by his own administration to release immigrant detainees in so-called sanctuary cities, sources close to the president told the Times.
