Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham sent a letter to special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday asking whether Mueller felt Attorney General William Barr misrepresented their phone conversation in his Senate testimony this week.
«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. Graham has been firm that he would not bring Mueller in to testify about the investigation, but he said at the end of Wednesday’s hearing he would instead write to Mueller to give him the chance to respond.

«I’m going to write a letter to Mr. Mueller and I’m going to ask him, ‘Is there anything you said about that conversation he disagrees with?’ And if there is, he can come and tell us,» Graham said at Wednesday’s hearing.
