EXCLUSIVE: Trump Says He Will Leave Mueller Report Decision To DOJ

President Donald Trump said he will leave decisions on how to handle the Mueller report to the Justice Department, he told The Daily Caller in an exclusive Oval Office interview.

Asked explicitly whether he would sign off, the president said, “They’ll have to make their decision within the Justice Department. They will make the decision as to what they do.”

Trump also said he had not spoken to Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker about the impending end of the Mueller investigation, declaring flatly, “I haven’t spoken to him about that. I would say that I think after almost two years it certainly should be."

Trump noted that he let the probe continue, despite having the right to end it if he chose, saying, "I could’ve taken a much different stance, I could’ve gotten involved in this, I could’ve terminated everything. I could’ve ended everything. I’ve chosen to stay out of it. But I had the right to ... I had the right ... to end everything ... Many people thought that’s what I should do."

However, who is smarter and more DC savvy: Trump or Barr?

IMHO: If you want to predict what Barr will do, ask yourself, what would benefit Barr, not what would benefit Trump.
