Barr says his letter was not actually a "summary" of Mueller's report, just a report on its "principal conclusions": "the bottom line." He says he didn't think it'd be in the "public interest" to try to summarize a 400-page report.
Barr: "My March 24 letter was not, and did not purport to be, an exhaustive recounting of the Special Counsel's investigation or report." He says it was a summary of the big conclusions, yes, but it's "mischaracterizing" to call it a summary of the report or investigation.
On "summary": in Barr's original letter, he said, "Although my review is ongoing, I believe that it is in the public interest to describe the report and to summarize the principal conclusions reached by the Special Counsel and the results of his investigation."
