Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham intends to speak with Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday night about releasing a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
“I’m going to talk to him tonight,” Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters at the Capitol.
Graham said he expects Barr will screen the report for grand jury information, which is legally prohibited from becoming public. He also said authorities will need to scrub the report for intelligence sources and methods. And lastly, Graham said he expects the White House will have a chance to claim executive privilege on elements of Mueller’s findings.
Then, he said of Barr, “release the report, come to the committee and testify.”
