Robert Mueller Objected To Attorney General’s Depiction of Russia Probe

Washington: US Special Counsel Robert Mueller wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr in March objecting to his early description of the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that appeared to clear President Donald Trump on possible obstruction of justice, the media reported. According to the New York Times, the letter adds to the growing evidence of rift between them and is another sign of anger among Robert Mueller’s investigators about Barr’s characterisation of their findings, which allowed Trump to wrongly claim he had been vindicated. Robert Mueller wrote that Barr in his four-page memo “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the special counsel’s findings, according to an excerpt of the letter, published by the Washington Post.
