Attorney General William Barr’s news conference Thursday will address the Justice Department’s interactions with the White House over special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
That’s according to a Justice Department official who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Barr will also discuss whether the White House invoked executive privilege in the report, DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told Reuters.
Barr has faced intense criticism from Democrats over his decision to hold a news conference before releasing Mueller’s report to the American people and Congress.
Barr is scheduled to release a redacted version of Mueller’s report. Lawmakers have said they want to see the full report, without redactions.
