Key to Redactions in the Mueller Report

The entirety of Mueller’s report, appearing exactly as it was released to Congress and the American public by the Department of Justice, can be found in the following pages.

As Barr’s March 29 letter explains, redactions in the report occur for one of four reasons:

(1) GRAND JURY: Material subject to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure (6e), which forbids disclosure of material related to ongoing grand jury proceedings.

(2) INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUE: Material the intelligence community identifies as potentially compromising sensitive sources and methods.

(3) HARM TO ONGOING MATTER: Material that could affect other ongoing matters, including those that the special counsel has referred to other Department offices.

(4) PERSONAL PRIVACY: Information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties.

In the pages that follow, each redaction is marked with an in-text note delineating both the length of and the reason for the redaction.
