The US Justice department has confirmed that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has delivered his final report to Attorney General William Barr.
This brings to an end the two-year inquiry, which led to criminal convictions for Trump’s campaign chairman, deputy chairman, personal attorney and two policy advisers.
Attorney General Barr will now have to decide how much of the report to share with Congress. The House voted unanimously in March on a resolution to open the report’s findings to the public, which shows solid support within both the Republican and Democrat parties to be transparent with the evidence prosecutors have uncovered.
Since Mueller’s appointment in May 2017, his team has focused on how Russian operatives sought to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential race. Tied to that is the question of whether anyone close to the Trump campaign cooperated with them.
The inquiry has already exposed a far-ranging Russian influence effort, no evidence has emerged so far that Trump or his close aides were directly or indirectly involved.
Barr is expected to quickly report to congress, possibly as early as Sunday, US time. If it is damning of Trump’s team, the next move may be further arrests and, potentially, impeachment.
Somewhere on a Florida golf course, a Presidential sphincter is twitching.
