“You received a very serious, detailed report, hundreds of pages of high level information…and released your memo in less than 48 hours. To me to do this, it seems your mind must have been already made up. How did you do it?” Rep. Nita Lowey asked Barr.
Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that he intends to release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report “within a week” and that he intends to explain his rationale behind every piece of the report he blocks from public view.
The attorney general said he gave Mueller and his prosecutors an opportunity to review his four-page summary of the report before it was released to the public last month. Barr said Mueller declined. He also said he doesn’t believe Mueller was involved in crafting a second letter to Congress that Barr sent last week, in which the attorney general outlined the types of redactions he believes are necessary.
