The White House claimed Monday that the president 'wants full transparency' in the special counsel investigation and would be 'more than happy' to see the attorney general release Robert Mueller's entire report.
'I don't think the president has any problem with it,' press secretary Sarah Sanders said on 'Today' on NBC News. 'He's more than happy for any of this stuff to come out because he knows exactly what did and what didn't happen and now frankly the rest of America knows.'
Asked by DailyMail.com if the White House's call for transparency extends to President Trump's written answers to the special counsel's questions, Sanders said it would be up to Attorney General William Barr.
At the same time there is a need for the White House to protect the office at the presidency, she said.
Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway claimed that Trump's answers are not 'particularly relevant' as she answered the same question.
'Because he was responding to questions that it turns out weren't particularly relevant or important to anything,' she said. 'There's no collusion, no obstructive conduct, no conspiracy, no indictments, nobody named Trump indicted.'

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway blitzed the morning shows on Monday. They spoke to White House reporters, as well
Appearing on Fox News immediately prior, Conway had advocated for the release of the FISA warrants obtained to spy on Trump associates in the Russian election meddling case.
'Let's see everything that attended to the FISA warrant. Let's see all the communications happening at the top levels of the FBI during the Obama Administration, and getting that 'insurance policy,' deriding the Trump voters and the rest of us as filthy Walmart shoppers and all of the other slights, all the snark and bark from the elitist intellectual snobs. Let's see it. Let's let it all hang out.'
His advisers' enthusiasm for a public accounting of the probe that Trump incessantly slammed as a 'witch hunt' does not extend to the president's written answers to the special counsel in lieu of an interview.
Conway told reporters at the White House afterward 'that is really up to the attorney general' to decide what to release. 'You can't just abracadabra your way into what's into the report.
She blasted the probe as a 'fishing expedition' and others like it as 'hoaxes and witch hunts.'
'You never really know when they're gonna end, and you never really know what's gonna happen next,' she said.
Jay Sekulow, an attorney for the president, said Monday that it would be 'very inappropriate' for DOJ to release 'confidential' communications between the president and Mueller.
'Well, that would not be a position that I would want, to just make a statement where we would release confidential communications that took place between the President of the United States and the Department of Justice or the special counsel's office,' Sekulow told CNN on 'New Day' on Monday morning.
He said, 'As a lawyer, you don't waive privileges and you don't waive investigative detail absent either a court order or an agreement between the parties. And you'd have to weigh a lot of factors there on how that affects other presidencies.'

Sekulow also said that the release of the answers will 'be a decision' that Barr makes 'but I've some strong opinions about that.'
Democrats are demanding the entire report and the underlying evidence and documents be turned over to Congress. That would include the president's written responses to questions from the special counsel.
Barr has committed to releasing as much as he can but he did not promise Sunday to go further than that.
Conway said she was surprised that so many people entangled in the probe want everything to come come, considering how many of them could be found out to be leakers.
'The failure to find obstruction means that no obstruction was written into the report for a reason. But let's not forget where that came from. That came from leaks and accusations, I believe that started with Jim Comey, leaking to lots of folks, saying that he specifically leaked information hoping that it would draw an investigation.'
Sanders said the White House is confident that Barr, who she insisted has not given the White House any lead time on his decisions, will do the right thing for the country.
'This attorney general is going to make the best decision for America,' she said of Fox News.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
