Attorney General nominee William Barr arrives on Capitol Hill for a meeting with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), on January 29,2019 in Washington, DC.
Robert Mueller has submitted his homework. Attorney General William Barr now holds the Mueller Report. Department of Justice regulation entitles Barr to determine to what extent Mueller’s final report is provided to Congress and made public.
The issue of disclosure and the findings of the report as they do or do not implicate President Trump in wrongdoings and possible impeachment are fuel for a monumental political battle.

Earlier this month, Barr said he would not recuse himself from being in charge of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Now, all eyes are on him as Americans wait to hear what, if any, of the Mueller Report they will see.
Attorney General Barr must make the #Mueller report public and provide all underlying documents to Congress without delay. Transparency is the foundation of our democracy. The American people have a right to know the truth.

“Fox News spent most of Friday night taking a victory lap. ‘Well, happy No Collusion Day, Tucker!’ Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz told Tucker Carlson with a big grin on his face,” reports Slate.
Meanwhile, 2020 Democratic presidential nominee candidates reacted in unison demanding to see the report.
