As a private citizen, would Mueller still be bound by a claim of privilege or even "presumptive privilege" (as per the report below)?
Does "department officials" mean AG Barr?
"The Justice Department argues that anything outside the report is covered by 'presidential privilege' that hasn’t been waived.
Justice Department officials have communicated to Robert Mueller that the department expects him to limit his congressional testimony this week to the public findings of his 448-page report, according to one current and one former U.S. official familiar with the preparations.
In extensive discussions since the former special counsel was subpoenaed on June 25 to testify, department officials have emphasized that they consider any evidence he gathered throughout the course of his investigation to be “presumptively privileged” and shielded from public disclosure.
The Justice Department is “taking the position that anything outside the written pages of the report are things about which presidential privilege hasn’t been waived,” the former U.S. official said.
The White House and the Justice Department, however, have signaled they don’t intend to place lawyers in the room during Mueller’s highly anticipated testimony before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on Wednesday."https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/22/justice-mueller-congress-testimony-limit-1426035
Should be an interesting session.
