William Barr confirms Donald Trump’s personal lawyers were allowed to read redacted MuellerReport before release
Attorney General William Barr confirmed during a press conference Thursday that attorneys for President Donald Trump were allowed to review the final redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report prior to its release to the public.
Akerman said Barr was "acting as [Trump's] personal lawyer," rather than the top law enforcement official in the country. The attorney general's revelations confirm a New York Times report from Wednesday evening stating that Justice Department officials had numerous conversations with the president's legal team about Mueller's conclusions in the report, allowing he and his attorneys to prepare for when it is made available to Congress and the public.
Besides Trump’s personal lawyers, Barr said that “no one outside [DOJ] has seen the unredacted report, with the exception of certain sections that were made available to the intelligence community for their advice on protecting intelligence sources and methods.” Mueller’s team was also consulted during the process of making redactions, according to Barr.
