The Justice Department will release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election Thursday, giving the public and Congress the deepest look yet into its investigation of President Donald Trump's campaign.

Here's what Michigan officials had to say about the release:

A statement from Rep. Bill Huizinga, R-Zeeland:

While I continue to read the Special Counsel’s 448-page report, it’s clear that prior to its release, the Attorney General inappropriately cherry-picked select passages to present a more flattering portrayal of the president, his campaign and administration officials. The Attorney General—the nation’s highest-ranking law enforcement official—is supposed to be free from political influence. Yet William Barr’s rush to defend the president by presenting only select facts calls into question his ability to serve as Attorney General. The Special Counsel’s report outlines, in painstaking detail, evidence that the Russian government interfered ‘in sweeping and systematic fashion’ in the 2016 election. In addition, the Special Counsel’s report lays out evidence that the President attempted to ‘curtail the Special Counsel’s investigation and prevent the disclosure of evidence.’ While the Special Counsel’s report did not draw an ultimate conclusion about whether the President’s conduct was criminal, the report explicitly states that it does not exonerate the President. The American people now can read the redacted report and draw their own conclusions.

A statement from Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint:

A statement from John Moolenar, R-Midland:

A two-year investigation of the 2016 presidential election led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller has found no collusion. Now that Mueller has finished his investigation, it's time for Democrats to join us in working together for the American people. Right now, I am working on the issues that matter most to Michigan residents including the Great Lakes, the Soo Locks, and funding research for cures to Alzheimer's and cancer.
