Barr: White House Offered Unfettered Access to Special Counsel Investigation, Did Not Obstruct Justice, No Executive Privilege Claimed Barr: White House Offered Unfettered Access to Special Counsel Investigation, Did Not Obstruct Justice, No Executive Privilege Claimed https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/ha/2018/354/f47c4440-acd3-49fb-8e5d-b3079cca633a.png Speaking to reporters at the Justice Department Thursday morning, Attorney General Bill Barr addressed questions about obstruction of justice during the Special Counsel investigation into the 2016 presidential election.  During his remarks, Barr argued that not only was there no obstruction of justice, but that the White House cooperated with every aspect of the probe, offered witnesses and provided requested documentation. During this section, he specifically cited the Mueller report. "The White House fully cooperated with the Special Counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims.  And at the same time, the President took no act that in fact deprived the Special Counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation," Barr said. "Apart from whether the acts were obstructive, this evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily against any allegation that the President had a corrupt intent to obstruct the investigation."
