Too busy to read the Mueller report? Tom Patterson has abridged it for you

On July 17, former special counsel Robert Mueller is scheduled to testify in public hearings before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees. The subject: his “Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election,” more commonly known as the Mueller report.

The report was made public April 18. Weeks later, on May 29, Mueller finally made a public statement, during which he stressed that the report “speaks for itself.”

Mueller’s report is historic and important. It’s also 448 pages long. Knowing most people haven’t made time to read the whole thing, Harvard Kennedy School professor Tom Patterson has created an abridged version of 123 pages: “Summary of the Mueller Report, for Those Too Busy to Read It All.”

“Although I had intended for weeks to read the Mueller Report, I hadn’t found the time, despite its importance,” says Patterson, the Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press at the Harvard Kennedy School and the research director of Journalist’s Resource. “It occurred to me that a lot of other Americans might be in the same boat. I abridged it for them.”
