Attorney General William Barr calls special counsel Robert Mueller's letter expressing his concerns 'a bit snitty'
Washington Attorney General William Barr said special counsel Robert Mueller was"a bit snitty" in his letter expressing misgivings about the attorney general's letter to Congress summarizing Mueller's findings.
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Barr brushed off the criticisms in a new letter from Mueller, in which the special counsel objected to Barr's initial four-page letter to Congress. Mueller's letter showed the former FBI director felt Barr's letter to Congress didn't fully capture his 448-page report. "You know, the letter's a bit snitty, and I think it was probably written by one of his staff people," Barr said.
