White House lawyer Emmet Flood sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr in April complaining that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report made “political” statements, according to multiple reports.
The letter was sent one day after Mueller’s redacted report was released to the public.
“The SCO Report suffers from an extraordinary legal defect: It quite deliberately fails to comply with the requirements of governing law,” Flood wrote. “Lest the Report’s release be taken as a ‘precedent’ or perceived as somehow legitimately the defect, I write with both the President and future Presidents in mind to make the following points clear.”
