Special counsel Robert Mueller wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr to complain about his 4-page summary on the Russia investigation report, saying it did not “fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the probe, but in a subsequent phone call Mueller told Barr he did not think his summary was inaccurate.

The letter’s existence was first reported by Washington Post on April 30 and was publicly released by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on May 1.
