WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's lawyers say they are "pleased" that special counsel Robert Mueller has delivered his report on the Russia investigation.
Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow issued their joint statement within minutes of Attorney General William Barr's letter to key members of Congress confirming the delivery and suggesting he could update lawmakers as soon as this weekend.
They say: "We're pleased that the Office of Special Counsel has delivered its report to the Attorney General pursuant to the regulations. Attorney General Barr will determine the appropriate next steps."
Mueller's report, still confidential, sets the stage for big public fights to come, including in all likelihood, in federal court. It's not clear how much of the report will become public or provided to Congress.
Responding to the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report, the White House says the next steps are "up to Attorney General (William) Barr."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders says "we look forward to the process taking its course."
She adds, "The White House has not received or been briefed on the Special Counsel's report."
For 22 months, Mueller has probed allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and other potential misdeeds by those in President Donald Trump's orbit.
Barr has said he will provide updates on Mueller's still-confidential findings to Congress as soon as this weekend.
