The investigators decided to speak out because they were concerned that Barr’s narrative of the findings will have hardened public perception by the time conclusions from the full Mueller report are publicly released.
Some members from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team have said Attorney General William Barr’s four-page summary of their report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign team and Kremlin officials did not properly represent their findings, according to a New York Times report published Wednesday.
The special counsel investigators did reveal that they thought Barr ought to have included more details of their findings in his letter, which was delivered on March 24, nearly 48 hours after receiving the completed Mueller’s report. The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment about the report.
Despite Trump’s initially enthusiastic calls for the Mueller report to be released, the president appeared to backpedal on his position Tuesday, when he took to Twitter to condemn Democrats for wanting to see it. “In 1998, Rep.Jerry Nadler strongly opposed the release of the Starr Report on Bill Clinton. No information whatsoever would or could be legally released,” the president tweeted. “But with the NO COLLUSION Mueller Report, which the Dems hate, he wants it all.
