counsel robert mueller's russia investigation is done with no new indictments. that's an important part here. his report now in the hands ofe attorneyal william barr. but it's already setting off a new battle over how much of is going to be become public. blayne alexander begins our coverage this morning. >> with special counsel robert mueller's investigation officially over, the new estion hanging over washington, what is inside that report and how much will attorney generalr william b release? >> it may be there'll be particular aspects of theeport that don't become public because they're classified or they touch on other sensitive national security matters. >> reportero barrsing transparency in a letter telling congress he may be able to brief them as early as this weekend on ugincipal conclusion. but that's not e for top democrats. >> i think the demand of the public is overwhelming to see the report when it'sch a serious matter and it will be made public. >> if the justice depn'tment do release the whole report or tries to keep parts of it

secr, we will certainly subpoena the parts of the report and we will reserve the right to call mueller or to testify before the committee or subpoena him. >> reporter: mueller's investigation has led to indictments of 34 people including 6t with dir ties to president trump. before its release, president trump again taking a swipe at mueller's investig >> there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. it.ybody knows it's all a big hoax. >> reporter: president trump's attorneys writing in a statement, they are pleased with the report has been turned over. blaiyne alexander, nbc news, washington. well, our team coverage of the special counsel report s. contin nbc's justice correspondent pete williams joining us here live on the desk. always goodo see you. look, i know you can't look into your crystal ball. what sense do you get of anything that is in this report? i ymean, it's rea hard to

pinpoint, but do you have a sense of what might be in there? >> well, w c know fortain that the report has to do what the special counsel regulationst say it that is to say robert mueller has to run down who he prosecuted. now we know the4 people he brought charges against and who he didn't prosecute and why. now, it's that part that is the most sensitive part for the justice department. unrormal justice department rules, the government doesn't make public people who were investigated and never charged for the simple reason it's not fair. they have no chance to defend themselves. so at least it does that. how ,ch more it do we'll have to wait and see. it appears william barr says the saying ineneral is this letter that he sent to the hill last night that he may be ab to begin telling congress at least about those bare bones parts of mueller's report by this weekend. perhaps as early as today.

we should know within t coming hours if that's going to happen or not. but as to the broader things that may be in t mueller report, in his letter barr says 's going to consult with robert mueller, the special counsel, t andhe deputy attorney general rod rosenstein whohi supervised investigation and get their views on how much more he can say. >> now, canal attorney gen barr kind of pick and choose things from there? does he have a legal responsibility to kind of release the report in full as it is? >> so he has no legal responsibility to release the reportitself. the special counsel rules are very narrow. the only report that he's required to give congress is to tell them whether the attorney general, whether the justice department, ever blew the whistle, ever said stop, showed red card to anything these specl co wanted to do. now we know the answer to that. in his left last night to t hill, barr said no. never countermand anything the special counsel wanted to

do. that's all he's required to do. anrr says he gets it. he under the intense interest in knowing what this report says and he wants to share as much information as possible. consistent with those rul and regulations of the justice department. >> s are yprised the president hasn't tweeted or said anything so far? >> i think they're as curious as anybody to know what's in the report. they don't want toprejudge it. they don't want to say something that would get them in trouble later. it's early yet for tweets maybe. >> you nev know with the president, right? you never know if he's just waiting to do a and then the last question is, you know, so manyongressional leaders have said on both sides they'd like to see what's in here.me feel it might vindicate the president. others feel itig indict the president. can congress at any point call in er the attorney general or the special counsel in to -- if they don't feel they're getting the anfyers, to tes to do something like that? >> they can always try. you can be sure that they will

try to subpoena anything that they don't get that they f tl they hav have. now, that's going to go to court. they don't automaticin that. as for getting baa r to testify, i'm sure he'd be willing to testify. how far he's willing to say is a question. and the congressional leaders have said if they're not satisfied, they may ask mueller himself to testify. we'll have t see what they say. mueller is certainly under no obligation to testify. >> i guess we'll have to wait and see how much comes out. >> more waiting and seeing. >> nbc news justice correspo here.ete williams keep it here on news4 for continuing coverage of the report. counsel's again, it's possible the attorney general could give congress details as soon as this weekend. for all the up-to-the-minute information, npen the washington app as well. plus we're going to have more developments in our next halur all right. turning to some other local news, new this morning a man was rushed to the hospital after

for colluding with russia and mueller's team has not made any recommendations furtherohe investigation. as chuck todd explained on news4 at 6:00, indictments can still come from cases that mueller has turned over to other authorities. >> it is possible that the work -- there could be indictments based on the investations he's done, based on the work he's done. but no more indictments from him. and there appears to be no new sealed indictments. thereat doesn't mean isn't old indictments that may get unsealed somewhere else. is attorney in the district handling roger stone. sdny, they have bunch of these. eastern district of virginia have handled some of mafort and assange. there are pieces of it already in the system. >> now, indictments could also possibly come from probes launched by congressional democrats. meantime, more people arewa coming f saying they were
