Sen. Graham asks Mueller if he wants to refute AG Barr's testimony

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Friday sent a letter to special counsel Robert Mueller asking him if Attorney General William Barr misrepresented their phone call in his Senate testimony.

Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Barr told lawmakers that the special counsel did not object to his four-page letter to Congress, but rather the media coverage of it.

This week a newly revealed letter raised speculation that Mr. Mueller was unhappy with how the special attorney general presented his work.

In Senate testimony, Mr. Barr said the special counsel’s beef was with the press coverage, not him. Mr. Mueller’s letter does not mention the media.

“Please inform the Committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the attorney general of the substance of that phone call,” Mr. Graham wrote.
