(CNN) Federal District Judge Reggie Walton expressed uncertainty about the redactions Attorney General William Barr is making to special counsel Robert Mueller's report and suggested he may want to review the Justice Department's redactions for himself once versions of it are made public. "The attorney general has created an environment that has caused a significant part of the American public to be concerned" about the redactions. The BuzzFeed case is the second legal effort so far to get a federal judge to review the Mueller report. The other came from the Electronic Privacy Information Center in the first lawsuit filed seeking the full report after Mueller announced he had ended the investigation. That type of review would be a win for those suing for the document because it would bring in a judge to check the executive branch's decision-making on redactions.
