The special counsel's letter to the attorney general may show a split over characterizations of the investigation's conclusions. It came before Barr meets the Senate and House Judiciary committees.

On March 27, the special counsel told Attorney General William Barr that his public description "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions."

Attorney General William Barr has sent Congress a letter with special counsel Robert Mueller's key findings. There have been calls for him to share the full report, but Barr is not required to do so.
