Attorney General William Barr said the soon-to-be-released report contains only "limited redactions" — none of which were the result of executive privilege.
"As you will see, most of the redactions were compelled by the need to prevent harm to ongoing matters and to comply with court orders prohibiting the public disclosure of information bearing upon ongoing investigations and criminal cases, such as the IRA case and the Roger Stone case," Barr said.
The redactions were "applied by Department of Justice attorneys working closely together with attorneys from the Special Counsel’s Office, as well as with the intelligence community, and prosecutors who are handling ongoing cases.
"The redactions are their work product," Barr said.
Barr said the decision "whether to assert executive privilege" on part of the report rested with President Trump. Trump decided he would not assert that privilege, Barr said.
