"It is a Showdown"

In this episode of The Investigation, Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran and Senior Congressional Correspondent Mary Bruce break down the looming battle between House Democrats and the Justice Department over the release of the Mueller report. As the House Judiciary Committee lays the groundwork to issue subpoenas, Attorney General William Barr has echoed insistences that he wants to make the report accessible to the public, after making "the redactions that are required." Our team analyzes the powers at play that will determine when -- and how much -- of the special counsel's work is released, and what it could mean for the Trump administration.
