The Chairman of the Committee on safety Adam Schiff called on attorney General William Barr to resign after it became known that the special adviser Robert Muller believes that the chief law enforcement has publicly distorted the results of the investigation in Russia.
The democratic Congressman from California since responded to the letter to Mueller, in which the special adviser said that Barr, informing Congress and the public, distorted the findings and judgment of the investigative team. «He knew exactly what he was asked by the Congress. He knew that his answer was false. Look, it’s not sugar coated — I think it needs to go. Worse, that it is the attorney General of the United States, because it means that the audience cannot be sure what he says. This means that we can’t be sure as he sends the justice,» writes Politico.

A letter written by Mueller Barr in March, was published yesterday in the Washington Post. In it, in particular:
«Master letter that the Department sent to Congress and released to the public in the end of the day March 24, does not fully reflect the context, character and content of the work and conclusions of this Bureau. We reported these concerns to the Department on the morning of 25 March. Currently in society there is confusion in relation to critical aspects of our findings. It threatens to undermine the basic purpose for which the Department has appointed a Special adviser: to ensure full public confidence in the outcomes of investigations.»
