The Mueller investigation is over

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report is done.

Mueller finished his investigation into potential ties between President Trump's campaign and Russian election interference, the Justice Department said on Friday. The confidential report was delivered to Attorney General William Barr, who has said he will provide a condensed version of the report to Congress. He has not committed to releasing the full report to Congress or the public.

The Washington Post's Ellen Nakashima first reported that the House Judiciary Committee was told to expect notification by 5 p.m. Friday that Mueller had finished the report. Reports had surged in the last few weeks that Mueller was wrapping up his report, and reporters staking out his office chalked up several reasons to predict it would wrap Friday.
