Some key takeaways from Attorney General William Barr's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee and Robert Mueller's letter.
surfaced criticizing how the attorney general handled the public release of the special counsel’s core findings.
Days after receiving the 448-page report, Barr released his own four-page letter laying out the report’s principal conclusions. The letter said that Mueller didn’t establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia and that the special counsel didn’t make a formal decision on whether Trump obstructed justice.
Barr said Mueller pressed him to release the summaries, but he rejected that advice because he didn’t want to release the report “piecemeal.” He said he had asked Mueller’s team to identify grand jury information that would need to be redacted, but when he received the report, they hadn’t done it. He said it then took weeks to comb through the report to black out protected information.
