First daughter and White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump said she has “no cause to be concerned” about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation report, which is expected to drop Thursday morning.
“I never expressed concern,” she said in an interview with the Associated Press. “I never talked about the investigation except when asked, and I was fortunate to have knowledge of the fact that I knew there was no collusion. I knew that there was no obstruction. And this was affirmed in the Mueller report and Attorney General Barr’s subsequent summary.”
The Justice Department is slated to release a redacted version of Mueller’s investigation on Thursday morning. Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are scheduled to hold a press conference on the report at 9:30 a.m.
Barr previously disclosed a four-page summary of the investigation, which said Mueller’s investigation “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.” No details on whether President Trump or any of his associates were compromised by Russia were included in the summary.
It also quoted Mueller saying, “While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” According to Barr, he and Rosenstein concluded there was not sufficient evidence to determine whether Trump obstructed justice.
