The report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, covers his investigation into Russian election interference, any ties to the Trump campaign and possible presidential obstruction.
The Justice Department plans to send Congress on late Thursday morning a redacted version of the report.
Attorney General William P. Barr has scheduled a news conference for 9:30 a.m., before the report is sent, and will address three main topics: whether executive privilege was invoked, any interactions about the report with the White House, and how the department redacted it.
Among the immediate questions once the report is public will be how faithfully Mr. Barr reflected its conclusions in a March 24 letter to Congress.
Another question is how Mr. Mueller dealt with whether President Trump illegally obstructed justice; according to Mr. Barr, the special counsel neither accused nor exonerated Mr. Trump.
The report may reveal more about Russia’s election intervention and interactions with Mr. Trump’s team even if, as Mr. Barr said, Mr. Mueller did not establish a criminal conspiracy.
The White House signaled that it may respond aggressively. Mr. Trump said that he may hold a news conference of his own and his lawyers have prepared a rebuttal document, though it was not clear whether they would issue it.
