As of now, Robert Mueller is "still special counsel," according to a Justice Department official. But the investigation is unequivocally "complete," the official added.

The White House does not have the report, according to the Justice official. The attorney general’s chief of staff called White House lawyer Emmet Flood and read the information in Bill Barr’s letter to the Hill.

The "principle conclusions" that Barr says will be delivered to Congress soon are "expected to be made public."
