Dems ready to hold Barr in contempt, Starr blasts leak of 'whiny' Mueller letter
As Democrats scheduled a vote this Wednesday on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress, former independent counsel Ken Starr sharply criticized the leak of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's letter following Barr's summary of the Russia report. Details of the March 24 letter went public shortly before Barr testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. Multiple news outlets reported that Mueller raised concerns about how Barr's conclusions from the investigation were being portrayed. In an interview on "The Story with Martha MacCallum" on Monday, Starr called the release of the letter an "unforgivable sin" and said Mueller's complaints were "whiny." Wednesday's scheduled contempt vote on Barr is based on the Justice Department's failure to provide the full text of Mueller's report by a Monday morning deadline.
