WASHINGTON - Attorney General William Barr will face pointed questions on Wednesday about his handling of the special counsel’s report on Russia’s role in the 2016 election when he testifies before Congress amid accusations he misrepresented the document’s findings.
On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that Mueller complained about a four-page summary written by the attorney general, saying in a letter it “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the investigation’s conclusions. The 448-page, partially redacted report, released on April 18, described in extensive and sometimes unflattering detail how Trump tried to impede the probe, but it stopped short of concluding he had committed a crime.
Republicans, including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, have questioned whether the FBI overstepped its authority by monitoring Trump aides it suspected of being Russian agents during the campaign. Barr has said he will look into the matter.
Another episode of the American Liars Club. Reality TV at its best .
Be interesting to find out why he mislead the American people with his 4 page letter, his spin speech before report came out & is he hiding something in his redactions.
Distract from the real issues. Our government is incapable of getting anything real done.
As if anything will change. This is all theater. It just depends on who gets the Tony.
I have my popcorn ready 😂
And the senators will help him parse the day away.
Shame on you Reuters!! Mueller was talking about the medias coverage of the letter, not Barrs summary of it when complaining about the 'context, nature and substance'. Disgraceful reporting, YOU KNOW THIS and you just lost a tonne of respect fakenews
This liar better be held accountable for what he has done and what he is continuing to do- obstruct this investigation and twist the findings to clear the guilty President. Expose him.
We’re still talking about the Mueller report? Yawn.
CAN YOU TRUST THIS TRUMP PUPPET?
He'll lie.
He will lie like he always lies. ImpeachBarr

Democrats blast Attorney General William Barr, calling him Trump’s ‘paid federal public defender’In scheduled back-to-back congressional hearings this week, Democrats will have their first chance to grill Barr since he stood at the Justice Department podium and repeatedly declared that Mueller had found no “collusion” between Trump and Russia. Barr has not withdrawn, but aides said he might not attend because the panel’s leadership wants to allow committee lawyers to do some of the questioning, rather than just lawmakers. Barr and Rosenstein lost all credibility after putting that 4 page memo out. Many people say...Barr is reviewing the GOP handbook 'How To Lie To Congress For Dummies' before showing up.
