Rosenstein Says Barr Isn’t Trying to Mislead

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein defended the Justice Department’s handling of the special counsel’s still-secret report, telling the Wall Street Journal that Attorney General William Barr is “being as forthcoming as he can” about his process for redacting and releasing the roughly 400-page document.

“Mr. Rosenstein beat back suggestions that Mr. Barr is trying to mislead the public by releasing only a four-page summary of Robert Mueller’s investigation.”
