The Honorable Robert S. Mueller, 
Special Counsel

US. Department of Justice

950 Avenue NW.
Washington, DC 20530

Dear Mr. Mueller:

Thank you and your team very much for the professional and thorough manner in which you
conducted your investigation. I appreciate the service you?ve provided the country now and
throughout your entire life.

On the eve of Attorney General Barr?s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, several
news outlets broke a story alleging that you believed Attorney General Barr?s March 24, 2019,
letter to this Committee ?did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance? of your
investigation. Of course, Attorney General Barr has since released your report to the public,
including your executive summaries, with redactions deemed necessary by both you and the
Department of Justice, and testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In response to questions by Senator Blumenthal, the Attorney General testi?ed in essence that
you told him in a phone call that you did not challenge the accuracy of the Attorney General?s
summary of your report?s principal conclusions, but rather you wanted more of the report,
particularly the executive summaries concerning obstruction of justice, to be released 
In particular, Attorney General Barr testi?ed that you believed media coverage of your
investigation was unfair without the public release of those summaries.

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.

Thank you for your prompt response.

 

Lin ey 0. Graham
Chairman
