A redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report is due to be released Thursday, after years of speculation over its contents and what it could mean for the country and the president.

The document will be made public in several different ways, and will first be available to lawmakers in the form of specially-produced CDs from which they can download the report.
