Special counsel Robert Mueller is making a statement about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Watch his remarks at the Justice Department live here or listen at Aspen Public Radio.
Attorney General William Barr says the grand jury material in Mueller's report must remain secret under federal regulations and has recommended more broadly that the work is protected under executive privilege.
The White House was notified Tuesday night that Mueller might make a statement, an official told reporters there on Wednesday morning.
