“Right now the investigation is I think close to being completed,” the top Justice Department official in a press conference. “I hope we can get the report from Director Mueller as soon as possible.”

“I have been fully briefed on the investigation. I look forward to Director Mueller delivering the final report,” he continued. “I really am not going to talk about an open and ongoing investigation otherwise. But the statements I made were as a private citizen with only publicly available information.”
Whitaker then said that the probe’s findings would be reviewed by the appropriate agencies. “I am comfortable that the decisions that were made are going to reviewed either through the various means that we have,” said Whitaker.
