| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome back to The Investigation. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm Kira Phillips, along with my co-host, Chris Vlasto, senior executive producer of our investigative unit here at ABC, and senior editorial producer, John Santucci. |
| 0:16.8 | Now, this week, we are doing things a little differently because, as you might have heard, |
| 0:21.2 | it was a busy weekend here in Washington. |
| 0:23.6 | Good afternoon. |
| 0:24.4 | We're coming on the air right now because Special Counsel Robert Mueller has completed the |
| 0:28.0 | Russian investigation and delivered his report to the Justice Department. |
| 0:31.3 | 22 months and it's over. |
| 0:34.1 | Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling and |
| 0:38.2 | possible collusion with the Trump campaign came to a close on Friday. When it was then turned |
| 0:44.8 | over to the Attorney General William Barr, late Sunday afternoon, Barr actually sent a four-page |
| 0:50.1 | letter over to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees with this summary of Mueller's report. |
| 0:56.4 | The Attorney General William Barr has delivered the principal conclusions of Special Counsel Robert |
| 1:00.5 | Mueller on the Russian investigation to Congress. |
| 1:03.1 | After thousands of subpoenas, 500 witnesses interviewed, and hundreds of search warrants, |
| 1:08.0 | the special counsel's final conclusions are now known. |
| 1:11.5 | No collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. There's no collusion, no nothing. Now, Barr also wrote |
| 1:16.5 | that his goal is to make as much of the report public as possible. So this week, while we are waiting |
| 1:23.3 | for access to more of this report, we are going to be releasing a new episode of the investigation |
| 1:28.7 | every day, and we're going to kick it off by talking with Jay Sekulow. He's one of President |
| 1:33.5 | Trump's lawyers, a key player throughout nearly all of this investigation. He's also Chief |
| 1:38.7 | Counsel at the American Center for Law and Justice, a conservative legal advocacy organization. Jay, thanks so much for being here. |
