Mueller letter: Attorney General William Barr's summary of Russia findings caused 'confusion about critical aspects' of investigation.
Special counsel Robert Mueller told Attorney General William Barr that Barr’s summary of the Russia probe’s findings caused “public confusion about critical aspects” of the investigation.
Barr’s letter was released just two days after the Justice Department received the special counsel’s report. It said Mueller hadn’t reached a conclusion on whether the president had obstructed justice despite presenting evidence on both sides of the question. Mueller found no evidence of a conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and Russia in the 2016 election. Barr says he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein cleared Trump of obstruction of justice after investigators reached no conclusion on that question.Attorney General William Barr is defending his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation report.
Barr also will defend his decision to release the bottom-line conclusions of Mueller’s report. Barr will say he “did not believe that it was in the public interest to release additional portions of the report in piecemeal fashion.”
