distinction and said you were going to provide your own report based on mueller s report, but not the report this is the way we understood it but not the report he submits at the end of the investigation. this is concerning as there is nothing in the regulations that prevent you from providing mueller s report to congress. while the regs refer to a confidential report to be provided to the attorney general, the regs do not state that confidentiality means the report cannot be provided to congress. so here s the question, will you provide mueller s report to congress, not your rewrite or a summary? well, the regs do say that mueller is supposed to do a summary report of his
