By Randall D. Eliason Randall D. Eliason Bio Follow April 19 at 11:43 AM In his four-page letter to Congress on March 24 supposedly summarizing the “principal conclusions” reached by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, Attorney General William P. Barr wrote that Mueller had declined to decide whether the evidence would justify an obstruction-of-justice case against President Trump. Barr went on to note that he and Deputy Attorney General Rod J.
Barr also noted Mueller’s investigation did not establish that the president was involved in an underlying conspiracy with the Russians, and argued this undermined the evidence of intent to obstruct. Barr made a similar argument in the unsolicited 19-page memo on obstruction that he, as a private citizen, sent to Rosenstein back in 2018. But Barr’s letter did not reveal that Mueller’s report expressly rejects this argument.
