New reports revealed that Barr\u2019s summary mischaracterized Mueller\u2019s findings so that they would be more favorable to Trump. This only increases the urgency that Mueller\u2019s full report be released to the public.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BARR IGNORED MUELLER\u2019S SUMMARIES: The special counsel\u2019s team wrote multiple summaries of Mueller\u2019s report, yet Barr refused to use them or include more of their material in his own summary, and instead wrote his own summary that was favorable to Trump.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cThe special counsel\u2019s investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report, and some team members believe that Mr. Barr should have included more of their material in the four-page letter he wrote on March 24 laying out their main conclusions, according to government officials familiar with the investigation. Mr. Barr only briefly cited the special counsel\u2019s work in his letter.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MUELLER REPORT MORE DAMAGING FOR TRUMP: Mueller\u2019s team said that Barr\u2019s summary failed to adequately portray their findings, and that the full report is more troubling for Trump than his summary suggests, including on the question of obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cSome of Robert S. Mueller III\u2019s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cAbsent that, Barr told lawmakers that he concluded the evidence was not sufficient to prove that the president obstructed justice. But members of Mueller\u2019s team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FULL REPORT MUST BE RELEASED: This new information makes it all the more urgent that Congress and the American people understand Mueller’s findings from the report itself, which is why the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed for the full report, without any redactions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cRevelations that Mueller\u2019s team is frustrated intensify pressure on Barr to release full report\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThe House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved a subpoena to obtain the full confidential report from special counsel Robert Mueller, sending a warning to Attorney General William Barr not to redact Mueller’s report and setting the stage for a clash between Congress and the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TRUMP\u2019S LEGAL TROUBLES FAR FROM OVER: There are still several investigations related to Trump in New York, including for fraud and campaign finance violations stemming from the Michael Cohen case.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Esquire<\/a>: New York doesn\u2019t just mean the Southern District of New York, the federal prosecutorial outpost in Manhattan. The state\u2019s Attorney General and its Department of Taxation and Finance also have active investigations of Trump entities. Across the East River, in Brooklyn, the Eastern District of New York is reportedly looking at Trump\u2019s inaugural committee. But Trump may have the most to fear from SDNY. And if you want to understand the potential danger to Trump from SDNY, it\u2019s worth re-visiting the case of Michael Cohen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
