William Barr hearing live updates: Mueller frustrated as AG faces lawmakers

Anticipation for Barr's testimony reached new heights late Tuesday when several news outlets, including ABC News, reported that Mueller expressed frustration to the attorney general over the public's interpretation of his investigation when Barr issued a four-page letter describing the report's"principal conclusions" within 48 hours of receiving the special counsel's findings.Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

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."

Democrats have accused Barr of"[shaping] the public's perception of the report," according to Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, by issuing his short letter, then conducting a press conference framing the report's findings hours prior to its release. Barr's initial communique conveyed that Mueller's team found no evidence to suggest members of the Trump campaign"conspired or coordinated" with Russians to influence the election and reached no conclusion on the matter of possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.

You tell'um Senator Lindsey Graham 💗
