Before the release, Attorney General William Barr needs to review the report for redactable material like the details from grand jury proceedings. Barr released a brief summary of the report on Sunday.

Reuters further reported that the unnamed Justice Department official claimed to have revealed the rough timeline to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on a phone call this week.
