the twister as he hid inside his church in arkansas and students on lockdown in bergman as this dark twister moved through their school. the aftermath a similar sight of abysmal destruction. flooding also a major concern in places like iowa. the mississippi river expected to crest over 22 feet today, creeping into downtown davenport when a levee breached. officials telling abc news they rescued 25 people in cars and in homes and businesses surrounded by water. and another round of severe weather is on tap for today. rain, hail and possibly more tornadoes, dan. >> clayton, thank you. let's get it over to ginger for the latest on where this weather is heading next. ginger, good morning. >> dan, good morning. you know, i do think we could see tornadoes again today so thought we'd bring back one video you may have seen. see the circulation at the ground. it doesn't look like it's connected to the top but it is. you don't have to have condensation all the way down. you see the condensation funnel. that's the same tornado just moments earlier. they can shift forms as they move.
7:07 am
when i was a storm chaser i would see that all the time and something to watch today. so just because it looks like it's weakening doesn't mean it necessarily is. from illinois to indiana down to texas, we have flash flood alerts. that comes along with the slow-moving stationary front, but this area, highlighted in orange, dallas, waco, i-35, up to oklahoma city and back to abi abilene, all has a shot at not just tornadoes, but damaging wind and hail. cecelia? >> ginger, thank you. we turn to that high-stakes hearing on capitol hill. take a live look at the room where attorney general william barr will soon be grilled on the russia report but just ahead of this showdown a new bombshell this morning. we are now learning that special counsel robert mueller raised serious objections about how barr first characterized the mueller report essentially as a win for president trump. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas joins us from washington with more. pierre, this complaint from mueller came in a letter to barr. what are your sources telling you about it? >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. that's right. overnight, our sources telling us more information about details of tension between the special counsel and the attorney
7:08 am
general concerning how barr initially described mueller's investigation. in the letter dated march 27th special counsel robert mueller complains about how the attorney general first summarized the results of the russia probe writing, "the summary did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of this office's work and conclusions." democrats too have complained that barr's initial assessment of mueller's more than 400-page report, lacked detail, and they say it allowed the president to claim complete exoneration. >> complete exoneration. no collusion. no obstruction. >> reporter: even though mueller found a number of episodes of potential obstruction of justice. justice department officials acknowledged barr was surprised by the tone of mueller's letter and that he called the special counsel shortly after reading it. they say while the two men had a difference of opinion, their conversation remained civil. overnight in a statement the justice department acknowledged that while the special counsel expressed frustration over the
7:09 am
lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the special counsel's obstruction analysis, in the call he told barr that he did not believe barr had been, quote, inaccurate or misleading. justice officials say mueller wanted additional summaries of the report released immediately. but barr did not want more disclosures to the public to be, quote, piecemeal. barr and mueller agreed to get the full report out with redactions as quickly as possible, cecilia. >> thank you, pierre. this will be a heated showdown today in part because of this new revelation about these complaints by mueller seem to flatly contradict what barr told congress last month when he was specifically asked about mueller's team raising these objections. take a listen. >> reports have emerged recently, general, that members of the special counsel's team are frustrated at some level with the limited information included in your march 24th letter. that it does not adequately or accurately necessarily portray the report's findings.
7:10 am
do you know what they're referencing with that? >> no, i don't. i think -- i think -- i suspect that they probably wanted, you know, more put out. >> okay. let's bring in our senate correspondent mary bruce right there in the senate hearing room. mary, barr is no doubt going to face serious questions about this today. >> reporter: cecilia, this is likely to be explosive. democrats say this letter reinforces their concerns that bill barr has been acting as the president's protector. they will have a lot of fresh questions about his interactions with mueller. they will grill him about his handling of this report and whether he misled congress in his previous testimony, and cecilia, we are already seeing some calls from democrats for barr to resign. on the other side of the aisle, republicans are likely going to point to the fact that mueller did not say barr's conclusions were inaccurate or misleading. lindsey graham, likely to come to the president's defense, and
7:11 am
instead want to focus on the investigation into the russia investigations, cecilia. democrats are questioning barr's impartiality. they are saying they need barr to come up here and testify as soon as possible. they have made those requests asking him to testify before the end of the month, but so far no response from mueller. cecilia. >> it will be a busy day for those guys in washington. >> another one. thank you, cecilia. now to the growing chaos in venezuela. both the opposition leader and president maduro are calling for supporters to protest again today. this against violent clashes tuesday. our chief national affairs correspondent tom llamas who has reported from venezuela is here with more on all this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. both men, juan guaido and nicolas maduro took to the air jfr waves overnight, calling
7:12 am
for simultaneous protests in the streets. guaido called this "operation freedom" but any hope he could topple maduro quickly seems to be fading. this morning, mass demonstrations planned following a violent and bloody day on the treats of caracas. protesters fed up with president nicolas maduro fighting back with rocks, sticks and molotov cocktails. an armored military vehicle plowing into and then over civilian demonstrators. the pro-maduro military and opposition forces battling all day. gunfire, tear gas and firebombs exploding in the heart of venezuela. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: it all began with this three-minute video posted by interim president juan guaido surrounded by members of the military. some defecting, taking up arms against the government. those blue bands, a sign they're with the opposition. maduro calling it a coup. security forces sweeping in facing off with protesters as
7:13 am
government officials announce guaido had failed. in washington, the president tweeting his support for the people of venezuela. secretary of state mike pompeo claiming maduro nearly left the country. >> he had an airplane on the tarmac. he was ready to leave this morning as we understand it and the russians indicated he should stay. >> reporter: overnight he appeared on state-run tv. [ speaking foreign english ] dismissing pompeo's claims as not serious and calling the trump administration crazy. maduro appears to still have the support of the military and has survived other uprisings when u.s. officials predicted his downfall recently telling me this. your american critics say you have run out of moves, checkmate, are they right? maduro saying that sounds like a broken record that the revolution still has support. now, secretary of state mike pompeo is sticking by his story that maduro was ready to flee but both maduro and the russians are denying it. we are expecting today to be another active and possibly very violent day. robin?
7:14 am
>> you were there as recently as a month ago. >> i was there a month ago. the surprising thing even though it is an oppressive regime everyone from the children to elderly to teenagers, students, will speak out saying they do want change but when maduro controls all of the military it is nearly impossible. >> you're right about that. tom, thank you. >> thank you so much. we move to a story here at home involving an investigation into a highway shooting death in iowa. a young woman on her way home from work shot. the gunman is still on the loose this morning and abc's linsey davis is here. linsey, police are looking into whether this was an accident or intentional. >> that's right, dan. police say they are looking into the possibility that this lone bullet may have been fired by someone illegally hunting. last night we talked to the victim's father. he told us that given the area he felt that was highly unlikely. he also said his daughter did in not have any enemies. >> reporter: this morning, a desperate search for the person who shot and killed
7:15 am
micalla rettinger. >> micalla was a very giving person. she had a huge heart. she never met anybody she didn't like. >> reporter: rettinger was driving home with two others from her job at a bar in waterloo, iowa at 2:30 a.m. sunday when that fatal bullet tore through the window of her jeep ending her life. >> we have a female who was struck by something that came through the windshield. >> reporter: rettinger managed to pull the car over but died at the scene. >> they weren't out doing anything illegal or unusual. they were simply coming home from work. at this point we're not aware of any vehicles on the road but if someone was out there and saw something, we encourage them to come with us. >> reporter: her boyfriend adam kimbell was also in the car. >> they're requesting a second ambulance. there's also a male on scene who has some superficial facial injuries. >> reporter: the 32-year-old was struck in the face by the same bullet, but survived. >> i just pray that the person that did this, i hope it was an accident. if it wasn't an accident, i hope they don't do it to anybody else. >> reporter: officials are now turning to the public for any video or surveillance images from that area. >> we're pursuing all investigatory avenues whether it
7:16 am
started on the roadway, whether it was off the road, whether it was further down the river bend there. it was 2:00 in the morning. >> reporter: rettinger was a star softball player at the university of northern iowa. overnight the school remembering their friend who had dreamed of becoming a dentist. and there was also a third passenger in the car who was not injured. police say there is nothing to indicate that the victims were involved in any activity that would have caused them to have targeted. police are asking for help from anyone who may have seen something suspicious. guys? >> all right, linsey, thank you. we are going to turn now to major changes coming to facebook and instagram. one of the proposals to hide the number of likes you get on an instagram photo or a video from the public. t.j. holmes is here with this. >> speaking of major changes -- >> you got some hearts from us on the haircut. >> i had them take a little off the sides, no big deal. both of you all reacted. we can't see how many likes? this would be a huge change to instagram. this is what they're
7:17 am
experimenting with. you wouldn't be able to see how many likes somebody else's post gets. why is that the big deal? it's a big deal because instagram has turned into a lot of ways a popularity contest. if dan posts something and i see he gets 3,000 and mine only got 250, maybe i'll take mine down. maybe that gives me a self-esteem issue. many experts say kids have self-esteem and mental health issues because of this popularity contest. trying to take that part away from instagram so they're experimenting with it right now but this is a huge change. >> dan gets a lot of likes because he posts cat pictures. >> a real correlation between depression and anxiety and social media use. >> absolutely. they've been trying to address this for a long, long time. focus on the content. what it's supposed to be about, focus on a beautiful picture somebody posts instead of just looking to see how many likes that person gets. >> couldn't agree more. >> you as a user, you will still be able to see yourself how many they get, but you don't have to worry, oh. somebody else is seeing mine only got so many likes.
7:18 am
sometimes people take their posts down because of it. huge change. >> liking the new 'do. we're following a lot of stories this morning. beloved "jeopardy!" host alex trebek is here live. it's going to be his first interview since revealing his battle with cancer. the latest on his health and that "jeopardy!" champ on a major winning streak. talk to him about that as well and back to ginger. so excited for that but also to show you that severe weather also has flash flooding possibilities. oklahoma city, they have that red dirt. that's what flooding looks like in oklahoma city covering roads there and that is supposed to be a road as well. so in silver lake, oklahoma there is a large region from texas to indiana that has that possibility today. the bull's-eye heads right towards dallas and austin. your local weather in 30 seconds. first though, the rainy cities sponsored by walgreens.

in which the premise is share the good and that's really what i've been feeling for the past month or so. people all over america have been sharing their good thoughts, their advice, their prayers and i feel it is making a difference in my well-being. >> you know something -- because it's not easy. people need to understand this. yes, you're a public figure. but it's not easy to disclose something so personal and you do that because you want to control the story. you don't want other people to talk about it. and you find that you were lifted up by sharing so much. you wanted to lift up other people but you're the one lifted. >> but i've had so many contacts from people who have survived cancer for 10 years, 12 years, 14 years. i am now a 30-day cancer survivor. i'm going to catch up to those other people. but they have been an inspiration to me and that's really what it's all about. it's drawing attention to this particular type of devastating
7:35 am
cancer, making people aware of it. telling them that they should take certain precautions beforehand to find out because we never discover pancreatic cancer until it's too late, unfortunately. >> this is also why you are being so open in your videos and sharing because you want to not only inform and update people on your condition, which is great, but also to educate them about pancreatic cancer. >> yes, absolutely. and there are a number of organizations out there. i'm going to be back in los angeles on saturday for a pancreatic cancer walk-a-thon to raise money for research into pancreatic cancer. things have changed immensely over the years, as you know. doctors keep coming up with new cures and pretty soon we're going to wind up with the cure, i hope. >> yes, we all hope that. >> yeah. >> how are you doing? >> my oncologist tells me i'm doing well even though i don't always feel it. i've had kidney stones. i've had ruptured discs so i'm

7:37 am
you have 50 episodes since your diagnosis. >> we got lucky. the -- i timed my diagnosis with the end of the season. >> oh, goodness. >> and we wrapped up the season and now i have the summer months to recuperate and -- >> what are you going to do? >> -- get strong again. i just have to get strong. as you know, the chemo takes it out of you. i feel so weak all the time and that's not a good place to be. >> sometimes you have to change the way you think in order the way you feel. when we saw you walk in this morning before we went on the air and you were quintessential alex trebek, you know, you're cracking jokes. i was still getting makeup. you're giving me -- >> giving you a hard time. >> how has a positive attitude -- how does that play into your treatment, so to speak? >> well, i just take it as it comes. it's no big deal. i go in and i sit down and joke with the nurses and i'm there for an hour and a half while they inject all this stuff into me.
7:38 am
and then i go home and i have a good day and then the next day for no reason that i can fathom it turns south on me, but that's okay. you have to deal with it. what am i going to do? it is something that i'm afflicted with. we are dealing with it chemically and spiritually and those are positives. hopefully everything is going to turn out well and i'll be back on the air with original programming come this september. >> 36th season it will be. let's talk about the end of this season. "jeopardy james." how is it for you as the host? >> it's exciting. it's fun. i watch it every night like most of america. he has forced me to change a view that i have held for many years and that is that the ken jennings record would never be broken. but i look at james and i say, oh, my gosh, look at what he's doing. now, winning a lot of money on "jeopardy!" is not that
7:39 am
difficult. if you hit the daily doubles and you're good, you're responding to those clues by yourself, but winning 74 games in a row, that's the tough part, and that's what america should be con sen tra concentrating on right now. is james going -- he's at a million and a half already, twice as fast as ken jennings did and when you look at his performance, he is -- he has no weaknesses. he's only missed one final jeopardy. i believe he's missed four daily doubles. he's all in so often. he knows how to play the game as ken did. >> right. >> he has a strategy. he's a gambler. he knows when to go all in, when to lay back a little bit. >> he came very close the other day, though, i mean that was a little -- >> that was an interesting -- he won by $18. he won. >> i know, i know. >> it doesn't matter -- in vegas it doesn't matter if you win by a doar or $18. if you win you won and it scared him.
7:40 am
it scared him and i'm sure there are other contestants. coming up tonight he has an opportunity to tie julia collins' record. she has the second highest number of wins. if james wins tonight, he ties her. he's already in second place in terms of the money one. >> you love this. you love this. >> oh, it's exciting. i mean our ratings are great. thanks to him. but everywhere i go people are talking about him. david muir is talking about him on the evening newscast for crying out loud. >> and we're talking about you. >> oh, okay. >> we're talking about you. what have you learned about yourself through all of this -- through this journey. >> i think i learned i'm an extremely lucky individual. in spite of the fact that this diagnosis is not a good one, i have managed to receive so much love from so many people and quite often you don't get that during your lifetime. after you're passed, after you're dead people say, oh, he was such a good guy. we really liked him.
7:41 am
but i'm getting that all before that event so it makes me feel really, really good. >> well, i can't tell you enough how grateful we all are for you to be here with us, for you to be so open and sharing. i can't tell you how many people you are helping by doing just that. >> well, that's a good thing and i appreciate it. and thanks to all of you. >> bless your heart. >> we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

we're back with the latest on the measles outbreak. while hundreds are quarantined in los angeles, two new cases are coming to light in southern california where two people who traveled internationally came back with the disease. now there's a possibility of a widespread exposure and abc's adrienne bankert is at l.a.x., the airport in los angeles with much more. adrienne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. good to see you, dan. we do know these two patients traveled in from other countries as you mentioned here at tom bradley international at l.a.x. and also in orange county. the orange county patient is a woman in her 20s. she was in a few locations, an office building in santa ana as well as a movie theater in fullerton then at st. jude er, friday the 25th. we also know the los angeles passenger traveled between the 23rd and 26th of april. they were here at the airport. they traveled by shuttle. late on tuesday the 23rd and then also were at a home depot
7:46 am
store in lancaster. that's about 70 miles away from here, so they could have made other stops along the way. the reason health officials are announcing this is because if you were in the same location at the same time as these patients you could be at risk for contracting measles. the good news is that if you are already vaccinated you're likely going to be fine. you might want to still check in with your doctor but over the next three weeks if you do not show any symptoms you're in the clear. a cause for concern especially in light of the cases we've seen at ucla and cal state los angeles. better to be safe than sorry. we'll toss it back to you. >> cannot talk about these vaccines enough. okay, adrienne. thank you. ready for the right then, here's the "play of the day"? >> sure are. >> it's going to the dogs. >> oh, good one. >> ba-dum-dum. okay, adrienne, thank you. ready for the right then, here's the "play of the day"? >> sure are. >> it's going to the dogs. >> oh, good one. >> ba-dum-dum.

8:01 am
fully capture the context, nature and substance of this office's conclusion. attorney barr has said before the american people this mourn that three times in discussions with robert mueller before the summary was delivered by the attorney general, three times he said, robert mueller emphatically said that he did not decide on obstruction of justice, not because of justice department precedent. we didn't understand exactly what that meant. william barr said in response to what robert mueller told him, of course, that would be argued about today on the hill as they continue to press him as to why he went ahead and made the decision himself. we know that in the mueller report robert mueller said congress does have the authority, which many believed was in reference to justice department precedent. william barr was asked was he
8:02 am
surprised that robert mueller did not decide on obstruction of justice. here's what he said. >> the conclusions in your four-page summary, you think, accurately reflect his bottom line on collusion, is that correct? >> yes. >> you can read it for yourself if you've got any doubt. as to obstruction of justice, were you surprised he was going to let you decide? >> yes, i was surprised. >> so we want to bring in our team. dan abrams has been watching with us here in new york. we have this letter from robert mueller that he sent three days after barr's summary. he said that this is a misrepresentation if you will of what the mueller report found. now we hear from william barr this morning. right out of the gate said robert mueller did not decide on obstruction of justice not because of precedent because of the department of justice. that fights some of the language we saw in the mueller report.
8:03 am
>> if you read the mueller report, there are four guiding principals at the outset. the firs one is we can't indict a sitting president. the third one is we don't even think it would be appropriate to accuse the president of a crime in this report because he can't respond. the fourth is, but if we thought we could clear him, we would. that's what the report says. now, with regard to this letter that mueller wrote that seems to express frustration with william barr, barr responded to that and said it was not about the letter. he said he talked to robert mueller. mueller said it was about the media coverage of the letter. he said that mueller claimed that his letter and press conference was not inaccurate. he did not misrepresent the report. this sort of creates a situation where robert mueller has to testify now. now we have barr saying what mueller thought, what mueller
8:04 am
said to him beyond this letter. if there was ever a question about whether robert mueller should testify, william barr just answered it by saying this is what mueller thinks, that is what mueller said to me beyond the letter. >> robert mueller was reacting specifically to william barr's summary and his letter when it said it didn't capture the context, nature and substance of this office's work. he was talking about william barr's summary. >> correct. what barr is saying is no. he was talking about the media coverage. barr has now created -- i have to say the moment that barr came out, i thought there was a conflict between mueller and barr as to what to do. i think it is now entirely clear that there is a conflict between barr and mueller that has to be assessed. >> it raises the stakes to get robert mueller up on capitol
8:05 am
hill. >> suabsolutely. >> it's being said that mueller wants to. this is another moment with william barr. he said when the special counsel turned over the mueller report we thought the grand jury testimony would have been redacted. he said what was handed to us was not prepared in that fashion. i thought it was a dig to mueller's team. >> it was. their response was that's why we created summaries. we created summaries so you could release those to the public. it sounds like that's what mueller wanted. he wanted the summaries to be released because he felt they could more accurately characterize what was in the report. barr said i said to him no. i don't want to release summaries. i want to release the whole report. the problem with that is you have mueller summarizing, but unable to release barr's
8:06 am
summary. >> the letter from robert mueller that was made public last night, i am requesting you provide these materials to congress and authorize their public release at this time. that's direct reference to the introduction and executive summaries that had been prepared ahead of time, redacted ahead of time, with the hope from robert mueller that they would be released immediately. they were not. william barr decided not to and issued his own summary. he talked to bob mule on the phone and said what's the problem here? bob indicated we prepared the executive summaries and william barr decided to let his summary speak for the mueller report for a matter of weeks before the public saw the unredacted version. i want to bring in cecilia vega. william barr's word was the final word until we had the mueller robert itself which allowed the president to say i've been exonerated. >> that's the big picture, the
8:07 am
take away in all this today. the attorney general at this time is facing very serious new questions, renewed questions about his credibility. now that we know about this letter, this confrontation that happened between the attorney general and robert mueller. just as you said this gave president trump and the white house and his allies weeks to set the message, set the agenda. the attorney general created the impression that mueller's team found no wrong doing. we found out later that is not what the report concluded. just as of two hours ago president trump was tweeted these words we have heard him say so many times. no obstruction. no collusion. complete vindication. that's been there narrative and in many ways it was a gift from the attorney general. there's questions about whether this is the attorney general acting as the attorney general of the united states or the lawyer for president trump. >> or the lawyer for president
8:08 am
trump. remember, bob mule said if we could exonerate him we will. he did not. senator leahy is asking a question. let's listen in. >> there have been a number of leaks coming out of the justice department, fbi, during high profile investigations. the inspect or general found during the department's investigation of hillary clinton for mishandling highly classified information there was a culture of unauthorized media context. during the russia investigation the leaks continued. leaks undermine the ability of investigators to investigate. further leaks to the papers while congress' questions go unanswered is -- >> let's listen in.
8:09 am
>> we have multiple criminal leak investigations under way. >> thank you. >> senator leahy? >> thank you, attorney general. i'm somewhat troubled by your testimony here and in the other body. you appeared before the house on april 9th. you were asked about media reports that portrayed the special counsel's team as frustrated that your march 24th letter didn't adequately portray the report's findings. i believe congressman chris asked if you knew what they were concerned about. you testified in response "no, i don't." you then said you merely suspected they would have preferred more information was released with the letter. now we know that contrary to what you said on april 9th, that
8:10 am
on march 27th robert mueller wrote to you expressing very specific concerns that your march 24th -- your testimony on april 9th -- that your march 24th letter failed to capture the context, nature and substance of his report. what really struck me, mr. mule wrote that your letter threatened to undermine a central purpose for which the department appointed the special counsel and assure public confidence in the outcome of the investigation. why did you testify on april 9th that you didn't know the concerns being expressed by mueller's team when in fact you heard the concerns directly from mr. mueller two weeks before? >> as i said, i talked directly to bob mule about his letter to
8:11 am
me and specifically asked him what exactly are your concerns? are you saying that the march 24th letter was misleading or inaccurate or what? he indicated it was not. he was not saying that. what he was concerned about -- >> that wasn't my question. >> i'm getting to my question. the question from kris was reports have emerged recently, press reports, that members of the special counsel's team are frustrated at some level with the limited information included in your march 24th letter in that they don't adequately or accurately portray the report's findings. i don't know what members he's talking about. i certainly am not aware of any challenge to the accuracy of the findings. >> mr. barr, you seem to have
8:12 am
learned the filibuster rules better than senators. my question was why did you say you were not aware of concerns when weeks before your testimony mr. mueller had expressed concerns to you? that's a fairly simple -- >> i answered the question. the question was relating to unidentified members who were expressing frustration over the accuracy relating to findings. i don't know what that refers to at all. i talked directly to bob mueller, not members of his team. even though i did not know what was being referred to and mueller had never told me that the expression of the findings was inaccurate, but i did then volunteer that i thought they were talking about the desire to have more information put out. it wasn't my purpose to put out mr. informati more information.
8:13 am
>> mr. barr, i feel your answer was purposely misleading. i think others do too. let me ask you another one. you said the president has fully cooperated with the investigation. his attorney had told a defendant he would be taken care of if he didn't cooperate with the investigation. is there a conflict in that? >> could you repeat? >> mr. manafort and mr. cohen were told by trump's personal attorney they would be taken care of if they did not cooperate. you said that the president was fully cooperating. is there a conflict there? yes or no? >> no. >> you think it's fully cooperating to instruct a former aid to tell the attorney general to unrecuse himself, shut down the investigation and declare the president did nothing wrong? >> i don't think -- well,
8:14 am
obviously since i didn't find it was obstruction i felt the evidence could not support -- >> i'm asking if that's fully cooperating. i'm not asking you about obstruction. is that fully cooperating? >> he fully cooperated. >> by instructing a former aid to tell the attorney general to unrecuse himself and shut down the investigation and declare the president did nothing wrong. >> where is that in the report? >> that is on volume two page five. the president dictated a message for lewandowski to deliver to sessions that sessions should reannounce his recusal from the russia investigation. the investigation was unfair to the president. the president did nothing wrong. >> asking session to unrecuse himself we don't think is obstruction. >> i'm not asking you if it's
8:15 am
obstruction. is it cooperating? >> the president in terms of collusion did not wrong. isn't that correct? >> collusion is not a crime. it's theobstructing. is that fully cooperating to say that? >> well, i don't see any conflict between that and fully cooperating with the investigation. >> the president of course declared many times publicly in tweets and at campaign rallies that he would testify. he never did testify, is that correct? >> as far as i know. >> i think you know whether he testified or not. >> as far as i know he didn't testify. >> mr. mueller found the written answers to be inadequate, is that correct? >> i think he wanted additional, but he never sought it. >> the president testinever testified? >> he never pushed it.
8:16 am
>> the president never testified. does the fact that mr. mueller found the trump campaign was receptive to some of the offers of assistance from russia or the fact that the trump campaign never reported any of this to the fbi, does that trouble you? >> what would they report to the fbi? >> that they were receptive to offers of assistance from russia. >> what do you mean by receptive? i think the report says -- obviously they were expecting to benefit from whatever the russians -- >> page 173, volume one report says the investigation of staff showed multiple links between trump campaign officials and individuals tied to the russian government. that included russia offering assistance to the campaign. in some instances the campaign was receptive.
8:17 am
>> i have to understand exactly what that refers to. >> you have the report. i gave you the page from the report. i know my time is up. i'm making the chairman nervous. >> attorney general william barr up on the hill. a fairly testy moment there. the senator asked the attorney general about his testimony on april 9th which was several days after the attorney general talked directly to robert mueller. william barr was asked why did he tell congress and the american people that he didn't know the concerns of robert mueller's team. there was reporting that several members of the team were unhappy with william barr's testimony. why did you say you didn't know if you spoke directly to robert mueller? you heard what william barr said. he said i talked to bob mueller himself, not the members in that
8:18 am
reporting. very nuanced answer. dan abrams, sounded like it was a split answer there. >> it's a very lawyery answer. this is why i don't think they'll be able to prove that barr, quote unquote, lied. i think there will be an explanation for everyone of barr's comments about the mueller investigation. >> he knew exactly what those questions were going to be. >> exactly. >> i want to bring in mary bruce. not only was it the exchange with senator kris a couple weeks back, there was an exchange with senator bob holland. william barr said i don't know whether bob mule supports my conclusion. you talked to the senator and he said he believes william barr was deliberately misleading the
8:19 am
american people. >> the senator said he had no doubt that was a deceptive answer from the attorney general that the attorney general was misleading congress and the american people. democrats i talked to say they believe the impact of barr's comments, barr's previous testimony was misleading. when i ask if they think he lied or perjuried himself, they're stopping short of that. the view from democrats is this letter, the new questions about mueller's complaints about the way barr handled his report all this does is underscore that they say the attorney general is doing the president's bidding. it's why you're sighing bill barr being grilled so aggressively and it's why you're seeing a growing number of democrats saying that bill barr should resign and they need to hear directly from mueller as soon as possible. >> mary bruce outside the
8:20 am
hearing room. it is the attorney general on capitol hill answering questions about the decisions he made after being given the mueller report. mueller finding no collusion with the russians between the trump campaign. left open the question of obstruction of justice. william barr cleared the president. he is the attorney general and that is his job. he'll be questioned about whether or not that should have been handed to congress. in the 11th hour before today's testimony the letter from robert mueller made public sent to william barr days after the initial four-page summary. robert mueller made it clear he was displease with how william barr handled that report. our coverage continues live on abc news digital. for dan, cecelia, mary and
