The special counsel criticized Barr for not fully capturing the Mueller report in its "context, nature and substance." According to a source familiar with Mueller's concerns, the letter from the special counsel's office came in on March 27. After reviewing it, Barr called Mueller the following day. Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement Tuesday that Mueller did not tell Barr that anything in the letter was factually wrong. "The obstructionism that we read about the Mueller report has come galloping off the pages and right onto our front doorstep."
