The Senate Judiciary Committee could create to withhold parts of the final report of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe from the public, The Washington Post reports.

The possibility comes as the committee prepares to debate and vote on a measure that would protect Mueller's investigation from any effort by President Donald Trump to end it. As well, sources told The Post, the group is debating a provision that would put a lid on Mueller's conclusions.

The Post's Greg Sargent says an amendment backed by Sen. Chuck Grassley, "sets up several ways Republicans could actually prevent" details from being released or "do damage to the investigation in other ways, on Trump's behalf."

Current regulations give the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein "great discretion over what to reveal … but the new amendment would change this," he writes. "If the amendment does pass in this form, it actually could end up facilitating such GOP micromanaging."
