members of the special counsel's team were "frustrated at some level with the limited information included" in his 4-pager...while Mueller's letter of complaint was sitting on his desk.
Clearly Barr knew the answer to that question - his response was a flat out lie.
Past comments to Congress draw scrutiny
A couple weeks after receiving Mueller's complaints, Barr was asked at a House hearing about reports that members of the special counsel's team were "frustrated at some level with the limited information included" in the letter Barr sent to Congress detailing Mueller's principal conclusions. Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., asked Barr, "Do you know what they are referencing with that?"
Barr responded, "No, I don't."
On Wednesday, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee challenged Barr to explain how he could say that after receiving Mueller's letter. Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii went further, saying Barr had lied.
But Barr defended himself by saying the question was imprecise. Crist's question asked him about unidentified members of Mueller's team, while he spoke with Mueller directly, he said.
"I don't know what that refers to at all," Barr said of the question.
