A version of the Mueller report will reportedly be public in 'weeks, not months'

Following Attorney General William Barr's summary, a version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report is expected to be made public in a few weeks.

The Justice Department expects the Mueller report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to be publicly available in "weeks, not months," CNN and NBC reported on Tuesday. Barr reportedly provided this timeline to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), per Fox News' Jake Gibson.

Barr on Sunday released his summary of Mueller's report, saying it showed that the special counsel found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. He also said Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice, but Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was insufficient evidence that the president did so.

Since then, Trump has celebrated the findings, while Democrats have demanded to see the full report, with committee chairs having demanded it by April 2, per NBC. CNN's Manu Raju reports the DOJ hasn't said whether it will make that deadline.

As far as whether the Justice Department will send the report to the White House before its release, CNN and NBC both report there are "no plans" to do so.
