What Trump ACTUALLY said: he was asked "Do you think the public has the right to see

the Mueller report?"

He replied "I don't mind. Frankly, I TOLD THE HOUSE, IF YOU WANT, LET THEM SEE IT." (emphasis mine)

Exactly WHAT can the House "let them see"? Only whatever Trump's new AG, Mr. Barr, delivers to it. It is currently expected that Barr will NOT release the entire Muelker Report to the House. Rather, a SUMMARY is all he's expected to send them.

I read what Trump said today as "Yeah, sure. Once I've reviewed it and 'discussed' it with my very fine Attorney General and he has let the House see what we want them to see, they can share that with the public".

Article has a link to a Twitter thread by Neal Katyal, one of the authors of the laws. I don't know how to post the unrolled Twitter thread, but I hope someone else can.
