President Trump did not assert his executive privilege to get any information redacted in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Attorney General William Barr told reporters on Thursday.
Barr said Trump agreed to not assert his privilege to redact any material in the interest of “transparency” and “full disclosure to the American people.”
“The office of the White House Counsel requested the opportunity to review the redacted version of the report in order to advise the President on the potential invocation of privilege which is consistent with long standing practice,” he said. “Following that review the President confirmed that in the interest of transparency and full disclosure to the American people, he would not assert privilege over the special counsel’s report.”
