Trump not focused on Mueller report: WH

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Friday President Trump is not focused on the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Sanders says, "we're always prepared for a number of things that come at us, but right now our focus is not on the Mueller report, but it's on doing our jobs.

It's on focusing on the things that Americans care about." The U.S. Department of Justice may announce as early as next week that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has given the attorney general his report on the federal Russia investigation, CNN said on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources.

After the expected announcement, U.S. Attorney General William Barr will review Mueller's findings and submit his own summary to Congress, CNN reported.

A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the CNN report.

Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, also declined to comment.

Democrats have been concerned that Barr, who has discretion over what is ultimately made public, will choose to limit disclosure, although the new attorney general has said he would seek to make public as much of Mueller's findings as he can.

Trump, responding to the CNN report on Wednesday, noted that decision would be up to Barr.
