Representative Tom McClintock accused the Special Counsel's office of editing a transcript of a voicemail from John Dowd to Michael Flynn's lawyer to remove exculpatory context. The edited version in the Mueller report allegedly made it appear that Dowd was improperly seeking confidential information, while the full transcript released by a judge showed he explicitly asked for information "without giving up any confidential information." Mueller disputed the characterization that his team intentionally hid evidence.
