President Donald Trump says it’s “totally up to the attorney general” whether the public gets to read special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
Trump was interviewed in CBS’s “Face the Nation,” and talked about a wide-range of topics. When asked whether he'd have a problem with a public release, he said it’s up to the attorney general.
Trump said: “Even the Mueller Report said it had nothing to do with the campaign. When you look at some of the people and the events—it had nothing to do ... So far, this thing’s been a total witch hunt. And it doesn’t implicate me in any way. There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. There was no nothing.”
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said last week the probe is “close to being completed.”
