Rep. Morgan Griffith

The nearly 400-page Mueller Report on 2016 Russian election interference is set to be released to the public tomorrow with redactions made by U.S. Attorney General William Barr. Salem Republican Congressman Morgan Griffith said live this morning on our own Roanoke Valley’s Morning News that if the unredacted report were released to Congress members only – it would get leaked.

Although President Trump has said to release the entire report, Salem Republican Congressman Morgan Griffith said that legally they can’t. He cites some laws related to evidence in front of a grand jury.

Attorney General Barr said last month that the special counsel did not find that anyone associated with the Trump campaign worked with the Russian government to illegally influence the election.

UPDATE: A former Reagan White House Staffer says turnover in the pressure cooker that is Washington D.C. is normal. Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli could become a key member of the Trump White House following the dismissal of top officials.  WFIR’s Clark Palmer has more:

POSTED 4/10/19 Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli was in downtown Minneapolis earlier this week cheering on the Cavaliers along with other fans. When asked whether he was being considered for a position at the White House, Politico reports that Cuccinelli said: “I’m just cheering on UVA tonight.” Some reports have linked Cuccinelli to either a possible “immigration czar” position while others have listed him as a possible candidate to become the next Secretary of Homeland Security.
