Last Thursday, Mr Jerry Nadler, the committee chairman, demanded Mr Barr turn over all communications between his office and Mr Mueller's, after reports that Mr Mueller's staff were unhappy with how Mr Barr presented their conclusions. Mr Barr's distillation"appears to minimise the implications of the report as to the president", said Mr Nadler.
Tomorrow, members of Congress might get their first chance to press Mr Barr in public about the Mueller report, when he appears before the House Appropriations Committee in a hearing nominally focused on the Justice Department Budget. Suspicions are deep among Democrats that Mr Barr took advantage of his position to clear Mr Trump and now wants to keep the most damaging parts of the report secret to protect the White House.
