What's Next for the Mueller Report in Congress?

Yesterday’s release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report and the commentary that followed isn’t the end of the special counsel saga.

A select group of lawmakers will be able to view the report with fewer redactions than the public version (but without grand jury information) next week while Congress as a whole is still on the second week of its recess for Easter and Passover. The VIPs include the following lawmakers (plus one designated staffer per member):

• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
• Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
• House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
• Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Judiciary Committee Chair
• Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) Judiciary Committee Ranking Member
• Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) Judiciary Committee Chair
• Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) Judiciary Committee Ranking Member
• Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) Intelligence Committee Chair
• Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) Intelligence Committee Ranking Member
• Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) Intelligence Committee Chair
• Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) Intelligence Committee Ranking Member

But that’s not all, as Attorney General William Barr has agreed to testify before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees about the Mueller report on May 1 & 2. And Special Counsel Robert Mueller himself has been invited to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on a date to be determined that's before May 23rd.
