Testifying before the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Barr said Mueller told him he did not think Barr's four-page summary of Mueller's conclusions was inaccurate, but rather that Mueller was unhappy with the media coverage of Barr's summary when he sent a letter objecting to the characterization of the special counsel report.
"Please inform the Committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the attorney general of the substance of that phone call," Graham wrote.
Democrats have demanded that Graham bring in Mueller to testify himself, arguing that Mueller's March 27 letter shows Barr mischaracterized the special counsel report. But Graham responded that he would not bring Mueller in to testify, and said at the end of Wednesday's hearing he would instead write to Mueller to give him the chance to respond.
