Kellyanne Conway, advisor to President Donald Trump, hinted that the special advocate, Robert Mueller, could never table a final report on the investigation conducted by Russia – and that if he did, the public could never see it.
After another noisy and lengthy appearance with CNN's Chris Cuomo, Conway casually dropped a side that implied that the long-awaited report on Russian collusion and other issues related to the 2016 election may not be completed.
"Let's see if there is a report to discuss," said Conway on Tuesday.
Cuomo said the Americans want the report.
"No," Conway said.
"Yes," Cuomo retorted as Conway tried to attack Democratic lawmakers investigating the president.
Cuomo brought the conversation back to the report by calling to make it public once completed.
"It's Mr. Mueller's turn," Conway said.
"No, it's not," Cuomo corrected.

Mueller's responsibility is to report to the Attorney General, who can decide what to do.
"The GA will decide what to do with it, and it's your boy, so hopefully he'll come out," Cuomo said.
Conway was without commitment.
"We'll see," she replied.
The two men also quarreled with former FBI interim director Andrew McCabe, who is taking part in the television series to promote a book. McCabe claimed that Justice Department officials had discussed the question of whether there was support in the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment for the removal of the President.
Conway called McCabe a "liar and known journalist" and said he "tried to overthrow a democratically elected president."
She and Cuomo then discussed McCabe's credibility versus Trump's:
