Flynn, Papadopoulos and Stone were some of Trump's associates who were charged in connection with Mueller's expansive probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

Flynn and Papadopoulos both pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. Stone was indicted on charges of obstruction of a congressional inquiry, witness tampering and five counts of making false statements to Congress earlier this year. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is awaiting trial.

Trump said on Fox News Wednesday night he was not interested in discussing pardons. But he added that "many, many people were hurt, incredibly hurt, by this whole scam."

Barr's four-page letter to Congress added that Mueller did not reach a conclusion regarding alleged obstruction of justice by the president.
