A subpoena to see the whole thing. Saying that barr spun or mischaracterized. He lied. And new details of the backlash within the west wing following the Mueller Report. Who is the president blaming and who stood by their man . Don mcgahns recollection is wrong . Im not saying that something didnt happen. Im saying its far different than its been described. Some are questioning whether President Trump really we wro his own answers for the Mueller Report.

Now, the attorney general disputes that and the department of justice said this afternoon that the attack was baseless.
