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. https://t.co/LeQRhIkSyW

Barr: Mueller will be redacted for:
-Grand Jury material
-Sensitive intelligence material
-Material that could affect ongoing investigations, including those referred by special counsel to DOJ
-Information that could "infringe" on the privacy of "third parties"— Greg Walters (@GSW__) March 29, 2019
