Democrats are accusing Attorney General William Barr of using the Justice Department to do President Donald Trump's political bidding.
Trump has repeatedly called on Barr to investigate how the FBI began its Russia probe. John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, is leading that effort. The Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General has also been conducting an investigation into aspects of the FBI's Russia probe. That report is expected to be released in the near future.
The Democratic senators also cited Barr's visit to Italy to look into the origins of the Russia investigation, and noted that Trump told Zelensky he would"like to have the Attorney General call" to discuss a conspiracy theory related to Ukraine and the 2016 election. “Fifty Republicans have told the Nancy Pelosi House Democrats that what you're doing to the president is unfair,” Graham said, citing the number of co-sponsors to his resolution.
“I think what we’re seeing really is Lindsey Graham trying to respond to the devastating testimony that’s come out from Ambassador Taylor and others,” Schiff said on “This Week."
