Special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report on the Russia investigation to Attorney General William Barr on Friday.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham expects that he and the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, will be briefed “in the coming days” about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

The Associated Press reported that according to a Justice Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity, Mueller is not recommending any further indictments in the Russia investigation.

Attorney General William Barr is required to disclose to Congress any instance in which he or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided an action Mueller proposed should not be pursued.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer say it’s “imperative” to make the full report public.

An AP-NORC poll finds most Americans have at least some confidence that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign is fair, while fewer than half think Trump broke the law.

Results based on interviews with 1,063 U.S. adults conducted March 14-18. The margin of error is ±4.1 percentage points for the full sample, higher for subgroups.

President Donald Trump and the aides who traveled with him to Palm Beach, Florida, are still in wait-and-see mode like the rest of Washington.

Over the weekend, Trump has voiced uncertainty over what Attorney General William Barr will do next, according to the people familiar with his reaction.</s>After at first hinting at a Saturday release of key findings from the report of special counsel Robert Mueller, Attorney General William Barr has decided to wait a little longer, according to Fox News.

According to The Washington Post, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein were reviewing Mueller’s report Saturday morning at the Justice Department. The two officials were drafting a summary of conclusions that could be shared with Congress and the public.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has been serving as one of President Donald Trump’s attorneys, said it is time for patience.

“My message is: We’ve all waited this long, let’s just await the reading of what’s disclosed and then we can have proper final reactions. There’s too much assuming going on, on the other side, and we shouldn’t fall into that trap,” Giuliani said.

“The best news is that the release means the case is over. But you can’t say more, or know more, until you read it. I’m confident, as I’ve been from the start, that the president did nothing wrong and that will sustain him. For everything he’s done, there’s a clear explanation he can make to the public,” he said.

A New York Times report said that as of Saturday, Mueller’s report had not been shared with the White House.

The Mueller investigation began in May 2017 to address allegations that there had been collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016. The president has insisted from the start of the probe that there was never any collusion.

Over the course of the investigation, charges were brought against Paul Manafort related to activities long before he managed the Trump campaign and against former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, as well as several other individuals.

On Friday, Mueller signaled that the investigation was over and that no further indictments would be sought.

Supporters of the president have hailed this as a victory for Trump. Democrats have said they will continue to investigate possible links to Russia and may have Mueller testify in public.

In an Op-Ed on Fox News, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz also suggested that Americans should read the report before reacting to it.

Dershowitz suggested a course that would enrage congressional Democrats who are fighting for the president to be kept out of the loop on the report.

“The fairest would be to immediately turn the report over to President Trump’s legal team and give them a week to write a response. Barr could then issue both reports simultaneously so that the American public could judge the comparative merits of both sides of this adversarial process,” he wrote.

Dershowitz stated that Barr faces pressure to release information but also noted that the report is likely to be one-sided.

“This is because prosecutorial reports – and Special Counsel Mueller is a prosecutor – are, by their very nature, one-sided. Prosecutors only listen to inculpatory evidence rather than including exculpatory evidence. They interview witnesses against the subject, but not witnesses in favor of the subject. That is why the Trump legal defense team needs to provide its assessment of the Mueller investigation,” he wrote.

“So hold your breath and stay tuned, America. And please, don’t rush to judgment until you have not only read this report but any response the Trump legal team may offer,” he wrote.

Barr said Friday that the report will be reviewed to determine if it contains classified information, and initially said that its principal conclusions would be shared over the weekend. Activist groups have already urged the report be released immediately.

Drinking culture and American kids

On America's college campuses, there are epidemics we talk about and those we don't. When sexual assaults or fraternity hazing deaths make headlines, court cases follow and new rules are enacted, but less attention is paid to an underlying issue – binge drinking culture. CBSN Originals explores how drinking to excess is not only considered normal, but cool, and how for many young people "blacking out" is less a rarity than an every weekend occurrence – with grave consequences.</s>WASHINGTON — Lawmakers reacted to the bombshell news on Friday that former FBI Director Robert Mueller and the special counsel finished their investigative report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections by demanding that Barr release the final report to the public.

Whether or not that happens will ultimately be at the discretion of Attorney General William Barr.

"Congress and the American people deserve to judge the facts for themselves. The Special Counsel's report must be provided to Congress immediately, and the Attorney General should swiftly prepare a declassified version of the report for the public," said Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. "Nothing short of that will suffice."

Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, added, that "any attempt by the Trump Administration to cover up the results of this investigation into Russia's attack on our democracy would be unacceptable."

In a joint statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said "it is imperative for Mr. Barr to make the full report public and provide its underlying documentation and findings to Congress."

"Attorney General Barr must not give President Trump, his lawyers or his staff any 'sneak preview' of Special Counsel Mueller's findings or evidence, and the White House must not be allowed to interfere in decisions about what parts of those findings or evidence are made public," the two Democratic leaders said.

"The Special Counsel's investigation focused on questions that go to the integrity of our democracy itself: whether foreign powers corruptly interfered in our elections, and whether unlawful means were used to hinder that investigation," they added. "The American people have a right to the truth. The watchword is transparency."

New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that he had been informed by Barr of the Mueller's conclusion, again demanding the findings be given to Congress as soon as possible.

"We look forward to getting the full Mueller report and related materials," he wrote on Twitter. "Transparency and the public interest demand nothing less. The need for public faith in the rule of law must be the priority."

Nadler's counterpart in House Judiciary ranking Republican Rep. Doug Collins said in a statement he expects the findings to be released to both Congress and the public as is consistent with the law.

"After nearly two years, the special counsel has concluded his investigation, and I look forward to reviewing Attorney General Barr's report carefully, when it becomes available," he said. "I fully expect the Justice Department to release the special counsel's report to this committee and to the public without delay and to the maximum extent permitted by law."

The House of Representatives has already passed a resolution demanding Mueller's final report become public, but it is nonbinding and largely symbolic.

In addition, many of the 2020 presidential hopefuls running for the Democratic nomination weighed in, demanding the report's immediate release.

"Attorney General Barr—release the Mueller report to the American public," Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts wrote on Twitter. "Now."

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker tweeted the report needs to be made public "immediately."

"Special counsel Mueller's report should be made public without any delay," New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wrote on Twitter. "The American people have a right to know its findings." Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro wrote on Twitter, "The American people deserve to know the full truth about Russia's interference in our democracy. The Special Counsel report must be publicly released in its entirety."

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont cited President Donald Trump's own words in a statement on the Mueller report Friday: "As Donald Trump said, 'Let it come out.'"

"I call on the Trump administration to make Special Counsel Mueller's full report public as soon as possible. No one, including the president, is above the law, Sanders said.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke simply declared, "Release the Mueller report to the American people."

Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney, the first Democrat to enter the 2020 race, made a point of noting the taxpayers funded the investigation and therefore deserve to see its findings.

"You, the American people, paid for the Mueller Report and you, the American people, deserve to see it," he wrote on Twitter. "Make your voices heard!"</s>Connecticut Democrats call for Mueller report to be public

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Democratic members of Connecticut's congressional delegation are calling for the special counsel's confidential report on the Russia investigation to be made public.

Connecticut's two senators, Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, and U.S. Reps. Joe Courtney and Rosa DeLauro issued statements calling for the report to be released in its entirety.

Attorney General William Barr was reviewing Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation Saturday to determine what should be made public.

Blumenthal says the imperative for transparency and full disclosure is "immediate and urgent." Murphy says the American people deserve to know all the facts now because "the future of American democracy depends on it."

Courtney says the country needs full and complete transparency on alleged interference in its elections and DeLauro says the public deserves to know the findings.</s>On Friday, the special counsel Robert Mueller turned in his highly anticipated final report in the Russia investigation to Attorney General William Barr.

Mueller was tasked with investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 US election, whether members of President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow, and whether Trump sought to obstruct justice after the public learned of the investigation's existence.

Barr is now expected to prepare his own summary of Mueller's findings for Congress, which will in turn release Barr's summary to the public.

But Justice Department veterans cautioned to INSIDER that the release of Barr's summary of Mueller's findings does not necessarily signify the end of the Russia investigation. They pointed to, in particular, a plethora of court cases, cooperation agreements, and potential future indictments that could drop well after Barr submits his report to Congress.

Here are some of the major threads that experts say will continue past the release of the Mueller report:
• The longtime GOP strategist Roger Stone was indicted on seven felony counts of obstruction, false statements, and witness tampering last month. He pleaded not guilty to all counts and intends to go to trial. He has also not ruled out cooperating with prosecutors against other individuals — but not Trump — ensnared in the Russia probe.
• Rick Gates, the former Trump campaign deputy campaign chairman, is still cooperating with multiple investigations.
• Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen is still cooperating with multiple investigations.
• The Manhattan US attorney's office is probing Trump's involvement in several hush-money payments during the election to women who said they had affairs with him. Cohen, Trump's former bookkeeper, and several Trump Organization executives are cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
• New York federal prosecutors subpoenaed Trump's inaugural committee for documents related to its finances. The committee has long been under scrutiny from investigators examining whether foreign governments — such as Russia and the United Arab Emirates — illegally funneled money into the operation to influence White House policy.
• Paul Erickson, a GOP strategist and the boyfriend of the Russian spy Maria Butina, was charged by the Justice Department in an unrelated fraud scheme, and if he strikes a plea deal, it could open up new investigative threads for prosecutors.
• The House Intelligence Committee recently sent over the transcripts of testimony from several individuals that lawmakers believe may have lied to Congress, including Donald Trump Jr. and the Trump associate Erik Prince.
• Mueller is locked in a legal battle with an unknown foreign corporation that's fighting a grand-jury subpoena for documents and testimony.
• Prosecutors are also in a court fight with Andrew Miller, a Stone associate who's fighting a separate grand-jury subpoena to provide witness testimony.
• In January, Mueller's federal grand jury was extended for six months, so it could continue to meet and vote on criminal indictments brought by other parts of the Justice Department.
• The US attorney's office in Washington, DC, has stepped up on assisting Mueller's team with case work that will continue even after the release of a report. Some of those cases reportedly include Stone's, one involving a Russian social-media conspiracy, and the court battle with the unidentified foreign corporation.
