Bill Barr tells Congress he will make public the REDACTED Mueller report 'within a week'

Attorney General Bill Barr told lawmakers Tuesday he was 'reviewing' the conduct of the FBI at the start of the Russia probe – an investigation that powerful Republicans including President Trump have demanded.

Barr provided the information during testimony where he also revealed he will make public a redacted version of the Mueller report within a week.

'I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during the summer of 2016,' Barr said at a subcommittee hearing Tuesday.

Barr revealed his top-level review under questioning by top Appropriations subpanel Republican Rep. Robert Aderholt of Alabama.

The lawmaker was asking the attorney general about former House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes making criminal referrals to DOJ about leaks and other alleged misconduct by the FBI at the start of the Russia probe.
