Barr calls Mueller's letter 'a bit snitty,' but won't give Senate notes from call by writerknowles
Attorney General William Barr refused Wednesday to turn over his notes on a conversation he had with Robert Mueller during which the special counsel complained about Barr’s summary of his report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and Donald Trump’s attempts to cover it up.
Moments before the tense exchange, Barr derisively described a March 27 letter by Mueller objecting to Barr’s summary of his report. The four pages released by Barr “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions,” Mueller wrote. The phone call Blumenthal was asking about was a followup to Mueller’s letter.
If Barr’s appearance before the committee made anything clearer, it was that Mueller would soon be asked for his version of events.
