The Mueller report is expected to be released Thursday, but we may not learn that much. Here’s a guide to the coming, possibly lengthy legal battle over the Mueller report:Congress subpoenas this report from the Justice DepartmentAttorney General William Barr testifies to Congress in April. He’s argued that it contains information that by law should remain secret, such as grand jury testimony, classified information, information related to ongoing investigations and information that could “unduly infringe” on people’s personal privacy. Could Congress convince a judge that it’s conducting a related judicial investigation and thus needs the grand jury information in the Mueller report? It doesn’t preclude any legal battle for the report, but it could make it politically difficult for Democrats in Congress to keep going.
