LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Theresa May has told lawmakers she may not seek passage of her troubled Brexit withdrawal plan in Parliament next week.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr will take at least another day to review Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report before he briefs Congress on its main points, a person familiar with the situation told VICE News on Saturday.

The Department of Justice told congressional leaders that “no additional info will be provided today,” the person said.

Anticipation is running high in Washington following the delivery of Mueller’s final report to the attorney general on Friday — a document described by Department of Justice spokesperson Kerri Kupec as “comprehensive,” although she declined to be more specific.

Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, said in a statement to VICE News. “And we should see it at the same time as President Trump, a subject of the investigation, sees it. Nothing less than the rule of law in our country is on the line.”
