Redacted Justice Department memo on Trump and obstruction raises fresh questions about Barr's handling of Mueller probe
CNN
A federal judge's ruling this week ordering the release of a redacted Justice Department memo recommending that former President Donald Trump should not be charged with obstruction of justice could place new scrutiny on then-Attorney General William Barr's handling of the Mueller investigation.
The memo, if released, would likely provide fodder to Barr's critics who charge that the attorney general actively distorted the findings of the former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in an effort to protect Trump, or even fuel accusations that he lied to Congress. The Justice Department has until May 17 to decide whether it will appeal or release the memo.More Related News
