Just saw this tweet, and surprised I didn't see more people talking about it. He's referring to Barr's summary here, right? That's the "corrective letter"? Is the White House now acknowledging that Barr overruled some of Mueller's findings?
Trump, in Normandy, references the "corrective letter," & describes it as coming from Mueller: "What people don't report is the letter [Mueller] had to do to straighten out his testimony because his testimony was wrong."
No such letter exists, obviously .

It's possible that Trump is referring to the joint DOJ/SCO statement that was issued May 29th, but even for Trump it'd be hard to understand how he could confuse that statement for being either "corrective" or a "letter." Though the timing of it would fit.
Also possible that the president just fabricated a story about Mueller having to "correct" some unspecified part of his report, in order to create a false perception that some part of Mueller's report was wrong, knowing he'd never be asked to clarify what he's referring to.
Mystery solved: it was Hannity that fabricated the story about Mueller's "correction." Trump must have seen it on Hannity, and now he's parroting back Hannity's made-up claims about "Mueller needing to walk back everything he said in a dramatic fashion."
