'Surprised' Justice Department were taken aboack at tone of Robert Mueller's letter to Barr: Report
Justice Department officials were taken aback by the tone of special counsel Robert Mueller’s letter to William Barr after he vented his frustration that the Attorney General’s four-page summary of his long-awaited Russia report did not fully capture the “context, nature, and substance” of his office’s work, according to reports.
The Washington Post reports Mueller’s letter to Barr in which he expressed his concerns was written out in such stark terms that it “shocked senior Justice Department officials,” according people familiar with the matter. The Post also described how some officials felt surprised that Mueller had such concerns as up until that moment the pair had been in agreement regarding the redacted release of the report.
The day the letter was sent, the pair had a telephone conversation regarding Barr’s findings and the subsequent media coverage over Trump’s alleged obstruction of justice. The Justice Department said Barr also took issue with Mueller’s use of the word “summary” when describing his letter, instead saying he was merely stating the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions.
