A while ago, Mueller wrapped up his investigation of whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, and William Barr, the Attorney General, summarized what he found. Mueller and his team couldn't decide what happened and couldn't find any collusion. However, Barr didn't think what Mueller found met the standard for obstruction of justice charges. Now, Mueller is coming out saying he's unhappy with the summarization of the report. He wrote a letter to Congress in March saying the summary didn't have the context. Barr then testified saying he didn't know whether Mueller supported the conclusion.
This letter is another showing the disconnect between the Supreme Court and this special counsel. It might even show that Barr is protecting the president.
