In the April 19 letter to the Justice Department obtained Thursday by Fox News, White House Counsel Emmet Flood laid out a series of concerns with the Mueller report, specifically on the team's handling of the investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice. The letter was sent a day after the redacted version of the Mueller report was made public. Barr determined the obstruction evidence did not constitute a crime, but the report's section on that issue included extensive and damaging details about the president's actions, including the allegation that he told his former White House counsel to have Mueller removed. “We're fighting all the subpoenas," Trump told reporters at the White House last week. The White House has signaled plans to fight House Democrats' subpoena of testimony and documents from ex-White House counsel Don McGahn.
