Special Counsel Robert Mueller twice asked Attorney General William Barr to release the summaries his office prepared of his findings, according to a letter Mueller sent to Barr on March 27.

Mueller wrote that "the introductions and executive summaries of our two-volume report accurately summarize this Office's work and conclusions."
