Graham: Mueller Report will go to W.H., Trump legal team will redact based on "executive privilege"

[Miles Archer]

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham says Attorney General William Barr will not be releasing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s actual report to the public for several more weeks.

Graham also says the Attorney General will send the report to the White House first, allowing President Trump’s legal team to redact what it wants to exclude based on “executive privilege,” according to McClatchy reporter Kate Irby.

Barr is not legally required to allow the White House to redact based on executive privilege – or to see the report first, or even at all.

In fact, one week ago House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler “claimed…that the Trump administration waived any claims of executive privilege over Mueller’s eventual findings ‘long ago’ when it agreed to cooperate with the probe,” Roll Call reported.

He's probably mentioned a time or two in the report, and not in a good way.

4. It should at least go to the Senate and House Intelligence committees at the same time...

They have just as much right to see it unredacted. The White House has no right to hide from Congress.
