Democrats 'are very devastated because they looked at the report and there was absolutely no collusion and there’s no obstruction,' Trump reiterated on Wednesday after Barr's Senate hearing.
After William’s Barr’s tense testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing concluded on Wednesday, President Donald Trump praised the attorney general for his performance as Democrats intensify calls for Barr to resign over his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation report.
A number of Democratic senators grilled Barr for hours in Washington D.C. today after it was revealed on Tuesday that Mueller had sent him a letter in late March complaining about his summary of the Russia investigation, saying in it: “The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.
Barr wrote in his summary, delivered nearly 48 hours after the completion of Mueller’s investigation, that the special counsel’s investigation “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Critics, including top Democrats and legal scholars, have torched Barr’s summary, arguing it misled public opinion and solidified a narrative that Trump was exonerated before Mueller’s report was released a month later.
