ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday [4-10-19] he had not seen or read a report into Russian election meddling by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a day after his attorney general would not say whether he had briefed the White House or shared the report. Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday declined to say whether he had briefed the White House or shown them the report when questioned at a congressional hearing…Barr told lawmakers at a hearing he intended to release ‘within a week’ a redacted version of the long-awaited report, which Mueller submitted to Barr on March 22 after a 22-month investigation. The 400-page report is expected to shed light on some of the more contentious episodes of Trump’s election bid and presidency, including his firing of FBI Director James Comey in 2017 and his campaign’s contacts with Russians. In a March 24 letter to Congress, Barr said Mueller’s investigation did not establish that members of Trump’s presidential campaign had conspired with Russia.”
