CNN: Justice Department preparing for Mueller report as early as next week
Washington (CNN): Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller's confidential report, according to people familiar with the plans.
The preparations are the clearest indication yet that Mueller is nearly done with his almost two-year investigation.
The precise timing of the announcement is subject to change.
The scope and contours of what Barr will send to Congress remain unclear. Also unclear is how long it will take Justice officials to prepare what will be submitted to lawmakers.
But with President Donald Trump soon to travel overseas for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Justice officials are mindful of not interfering with the White House's diplomatic efforts, which could impact the timing.
The Justice Department and the special counsel's office declined to comment.

WNU editor: I am skeptical that this will happen. I see this investigation going into next year, and if it the investigation does end it will be a few months before the 2020 elections. But if this report is true, Attorney General Bill Barris moving quickly to assert his authority over the Justice Department, and he wants this investigation over with ASAP.
Update: Everyone is lowering expectations .... Mueller report may be ‘anti-climactic,' says ex-intelligence director (The Hill).
