An announcement that special counsel Robert Mueller is wrapping up the Russia probe may come in a matter of days, CNN reported Wednesday.

Barr previously said he believes the Justice Department should be sensitive to the privacy and reputational interests of uncharged third parties and not criticize individuals for conduct that does not warrant prosecution statements that suggest he may keep the report private if, for example, the Justice Department determines prosecutors cant charge a sitting president or that Trump hasnt broken the law.

CNN s report tracks with others in recent months. In December, NBC News reported that Mueller was expected to submit his report to the attorney general in mid-February. In late January, thenacting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker gave some rare insight into the investigations timeline when he said he believed the investigation was close to being completed .

The end of the Mueller investigation which has resulted in a half-dozen indictments for men in the presidents orbit doesnt mean the Trump campaign is off the hook. One of the biggest threats to the Trump team could come from prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, where Trump fixer Michael Cohen was first indicted.
