Summary
A special breaking news edition of the Mother Jones Podcast: Special counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation of the Trump-Russia scandal and submitted a confidential report to Attorney General William Barr. It is not yet clear if Barr will release a summary or any of Mueller’s findings to Congress. Barr said he notified congressional leaders in a letter on Friday evening that he “may be in a position to advise you of the special counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend,” according to the New York Times. So. Now what? The story is far from over—and Trump's war on the truth is set to ramp up. Joining host Jamilah King is Mother Jones's Washington Bureau Chief David Corn, who argues that instead of putting the controversy to rest, Mueller's report is about to release some serious partisan rancor.
