Attorney General nominee William Barr says he has discussed special counsel Robert Mueller's probe with Vice President Pence, though not at great length with President Trump.
In written answers to questions from senators that were made public Monday, Barr said he has spoken occasionally with Pence since the spring of 2017 ,and that those conversations included discussions about Mueller's investigation.
"The Vice President and I are acquainted, and since the spring of 2017, we have had occasional conversations (sometimes joined by his chief of staff) on a variety of subjects, including policy, personnel, and other issues," Barr said.
"Our conversations have included, at times, general discussion of the Special Counsel’s investigation in which I gave my views on such matters as Bob Mueller’s high integrity and various media reports," he added.
