Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) complained that past testimony from Attorney General William Barr related to special counsel Robert Mueller's report was "misleading" during a pointed moment at Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Leahy said that he was “somewhat troubled†by Barr’s April 9 testimony.
In that testimony, Barr said he didn't now where media reports were coming from that said Mueller's team had concerns with his characterization of their report.
“Now we know, contrary to what you said April 9, that on March 27 Robert Mueller wrote to you expressing very specific concerns that your March 24 letter … failed to capture the context, nature and substance of his report,†Leahy said.
“Why did you testify on April 9 that you didn’t know the concerns?†Leahy asked.
