WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Special Counsel Robert Mueller complained in a letter to Attorney General William Barr that his four-page summary of Mueller’s Russia report “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the investigation’s conclusions, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

The Post said it reviewed a copy of Mueller’s letter, which was written in late March after Barr released a summary on March 24 that said Mueller did not establish that members of President Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia during the 2016 election.

Barr also said in the summary that Mueller had not reached a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had found the evidence insufficient to support such a charge.

Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec, in a statement, confirmed that Mueller wrote to Barr after the summary was released to express frustration over “the lack of context and the resulting media coverage,” particularly about Mueller’s conclusions on obstruction of justice.

Democrats have accused Barr of trying to spin the report’s conclusions to protect Trump.

In a statement in response to the Post report, House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Barr “should not have taken it upon himself to describe the Special Counsel’s findings in a light more favorable to the President.” The Democratic lawmaker demanded the Justice Department release a copy of Mueller’s letter by Wednesday morning.

Barr’s four-page summary was released more than three weeks before a redacted version of Mueller’s 448-page report was released to the public on April 18.

    Well, in case you do not remember?  LYING is an impeachable offense when you are leading something.  Something that has to do with what is LEGAL or NOT.  HELLO?

  • Dems only want the unredacted version so they can see which of them is under investigation and who needs to start dumping files (obstruction).

  • Yeah.  It most certainly IS obstruction toward the ongoing investigations to ask for the whole thing.  Where ARE the charges?!

    31 of his inner circle, closely involved with Trump's 2016 campaign, have been indicted and some already convicted. What do you want, blood?

  • New investigations by Barr into the origins of the whole collusion crap.  Any comments?  I'm sure uninterested parties have a lot to contribute. :P

    The fact that a demented megalomaniac manbaby has his tiny orange claws on the launch codes of the world's biggest nuclear arsenal means that EVERYBODY is an interested party. It frankly terrifies me.

    The new term for getting caught in a deliberate lie in the new GOP DICTIONARY is perjury trap.

    You know it is time to go to the shrink when you start apeing definitions of Rudy Guiliani.  OH GOD.
