executive privilege opportunity that the white house has. are you concerned at all that you may not get the opportunity to see this report in its entirety? i am very much concerned. i believe that the attorney general has the first review of the report from director mueller. and i would be hoping that he would make the report available to congress and that appropriate sections of the report could be made public. in fact, the house overwhelmingly voted on a bipartisan basis just last week that the report should be fully public. that s the only way you are going to give i think confidence that there has been a thory, full investigation and that the facts have led to appropriate legal conclusions. so if the mueller report is heavily redacted by the time it reaches you, do you support calling mueller before your committee to answer questions about his investigation and his findings?
well, i think it would be appropriate after the report has been released to have director mueller come before the congress. the precise committee where he would appear, that could be debated. again, he i think should be available to answer questions that the american public will have. and the irony here is a lot of this drama about the mueller report could be eliminated easily if the president would do several simple things, one testify under oath before director mueller and answer all the questions that have been raised and put those questions to rest, release his income tax which is something that has caused quite a bit of controversy and other things that he could do immediately to end this long battle over what happened in the 2016 campaign. so you re obviously the
certain claims with respect to executive privilege, but it will also give the perception that perhaps the white house is trying to hide or alter in some ways the release of the report. and i think that barr is going to face significant pressure from capitol hill. this is something that ultimately may end up in the courts and making its way as high as the supreme court. someday this mueller report will be released. that s going to happen. we believe it is going to in some capacity. thank you all for being here. we appreciate it. coming up, senator elizabeth warren unveils a controversial new proposal that would dramatically change the way presidents are elected. those details are ahead. plus, will the white house try to keep parts of the mueller report under wraps? we just talked about that. cnn has new reporting about how trump s lawyers are prepare frg that. stay with us.
shan breaking new ground on cnn this morning. coming up, president trump says latino americans love him. the new poll sheds light on his level of support. you ll want to see this cnn special report. you want to see this not only taller, but longer. longer and taller, yes. twice as much. we do have a lot of problems here with immigration and i do support his stance for the wall. d with less of the sugar you don t. (straining) i ll take that. (cheers) 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. ensure max protein. in two great flavors.
simple. easy. awesome. xfinity, the future of awesome. it is still very uncertain if the american people will see special counsel robert mueller s report but cnn is learning that the white house lawyers will now expect to see a version of the report before it ever reaches members of congress or the american people. that means the white house will have the chance to claim executive privilege and prevent some or all of the reporting from ever going public. joining me now is democratic senator jack reed of rhode island, the ranking member of the armed services committee. thank you for joining me. i want tofirst ask you about this mueller report and the concerns you may have over the
