NEW: Trump tells @WMALDC's @LarryOConnor Barr will do a press conference tomorrow.

Trump says he may do one afterward.
@WMALDC @LarryOConnor "You'll see a lot of very strong things come out tomorrow," Trump tells WMAL.

"[Barr's] been a fantastic attorney general. He's grabbed it by the horn," Trump says.
Trump says calling attention to the actions of Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, et al ... may be "one of my great achievements, actually."
Trump, asked on @WMALDC if Obama had knowledge of the actions of the FBI in 2016, says he questions how his predecessor didn't know.

"How is it possible that he didn't know? ... I mean, we're talking about pervasive, horrible things that were happening."
"It would certainly be hard to believe that he didn't know what was going on," Trump tells @LarryOConnor.

President Trump will unveil a new immigration proposal in a Rose Garden speech tomorrow, a senior aide tells us.

It's short on specifics, but would reshape the legal immigration system to prioritize young, educated English speakers who have been offered jobs in the US.
Extended family ties, now the basis for most green card grants, would no longer guarantee entry under Trump's latest proposal.

Instead, applicants would have to score high on a point-based system.
There's nothing for the so-called Dreamers in the plan Trump will announce tomorrow, according to the WH.

The proposal would seek to expedite removal for asylum seekers, and enable the building of the border wall in prioritized areas.

HOW FAR WILL TRUMP GO IN VENEZUELA?

@MajorCBS asked the acting chief of staff for this week's very newsy episode of @TakeoutPodcast, which drops tomorrow...

Mulvaney: "I don't think we're going to take affirmative action to make [Guaido] become the leader."
@MajorCBS @TakeoutPodcast ON THE LATEST NORTH KOREAN LAUNCHES:

"These missiles -- whatever they were, whatever you want to call them -- were very small." Mulvaney told @MajorCBS last night (before today's news), calling the launches a "very non-provocative provocation."
ON THE PROSPECT FOR CONFRONTATION W/ IRAN:

"I don't want to guess at the future, but we are not going to war in Iran," Mulvaney told @MajorCBS on the @TakeoutPodcast, which drops tomorrow. "I think what you're going to see is us over there to enforce and protect our interests."

‼️

This was a HIGHLY-newsy, wide-ranging interview touching on the broad array of issues this WH is facing.

— Iran... Major asks Mulvaney about the prospects for war
— Venezuela... Does the Pentagon oppose US military intervention?
— NK... Is another Trump-Kim summit in store?
In this clip, available now, Mulvaney says he was not told before the news broke yesterday that the president’s son had been subpoenaed by the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee.

The full episode airs this weekend on many great @CBSNewsRadio stations & on #CBSN, and will be available for download on demand via your preferred podcast platform tomorrow morning.

BREAKING: Five Chairs of Congressional Committess just issued a joint statement calling for AG Barr to cancel his press conference tomorrow morning. It is “unnecessary and inappropriate, and appears designed to shape public perceptions of the report before anyone can read it.”
“In addition, we understand from press reports that the DoJ has had ‘numerous conversations’ with lawyers from the White House about the report. There is no legitimate reason for the Department to brief the White House prior to providing Congress a copy of the report.”
“These new actions by the AG reinforce our concern that he is acting to protect Pres Trump. The AG previously stated, ‘I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion.’ We agree.”

UPDATE: AG Bill Barr will hold a press conference tomorrow at 9:30am, per DOJ spox. DAG Rod Rosenstein will be there. There is no other information right now about when Mueller's report itself will be released (aside from earlier guidance from DOJ that it would be Thursday a.m.)
This is also a reminder that, yes, DAG Rod Rosenstein is still here!
Trump said in a radio interview today that AG Barr would be holding a press conference tomorrow, before DOJ announced it. DOJ spox Kerri Kupec says that Trump did not ask to have the press conference. "It was the Department of Justice's decision to do the press conference."
