Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham ahead of Barr testimony: 'When the Mueller report is put to bed and it soon will be, this committee is going to look long and hard on how this all started. We're going to look at the FISA warrant process.'
Attorney General William Barr faced a grilling from lawmakers on Wednesday over his controversial handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report as the nation's top law enforcement officer returned to Capitol Hill for the first time since releasing the probe's highly anticipated findings earlier this month.
In a letter dated March 27, Mueller complained that Barr's interpretation"did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office's work and conclusions." A Justice Department spokeswoman said in a follow-up phone call, Mueller"emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General's March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading."
At his press conference, Barr repeatedly claimed the special counsel found"no collusion," but Mueller states clearly in his report that"collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the U.S. Code."
