House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said Wednesday that Attorney General William Barr would not commit to make public the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller.
Barr also told Nadler that the Justice Department “did not plan to submit” the report to the White House for review first, which could ease a concern that Democrats have raised over executive privilege.
House Democrats have set an April 2 deadline for Barr to release the report and Mueller’s underlying evidence, but Nadler said Barr would only tell him it would take “weeks, not months.”
“Obviously, they’re not going to meet the April 2 deadline the committee set. I’m very upset and concerned by that,” Nadler said, declining to say what Democrats would do after April 2.
Barr wrote in his summary that he would work with Mueller to redact classified and grand jury materials from the report before releasing it publicly.
