(CNN) Attorney General William Barr, about a month after starting his second stint atop the Justice Department, issued a letter to lawmakers Sunday offering his summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. The following is adapted from a December 2018, article on Attorney General William Barr's career at the time of his nomination. At the time, Barr was a former attorney general under President George H.W. Barr had been semi-retired for a number of years, and the move was an unusual boomerang back into government service for Barr, 68, who left the Justice Department for top corporate roles, including as the general counsel of Verizon. His judgment in the Talladega episode earned him the respect of Bush, who nominated Barr to fill out his term as the permanent attorney general, according to Stephen Colgate, a friend of Barr's and a former assistant attorney general for administration.
