After the Mueller Report was made public, what did AG advise Trump to do?

In a late-breaking story, just in the last month or so, the White House has been pushing Don McGahn to come out publicly and say that Mr Trump never obstructed justice. What part did Mr Barr play in this endeavor?

Mr McGahn refused to go along. This probably did not play very well at the White House.

But this has all happened since Mr Barr came out and said there was no collusion and no obstruction. Mr Trump was quick to tell everyone that he was totally exonerated. What happened?

Out of the sight of the cameras and microphones, he was trying to get Mr McGahn to state publicly that Mr Trump did not obstruct. Did Mr Barr assist in this effort ? Why would Mr Trump or Mr Barr feel the necessity to have a statement from Mr McGahn, after the new AG just "exonerated" him?

Mr. Barr is very much involved, that's why he got the job.
