House Democrats exploded in anger over William Barr’s plans to roll out Mueller’s report, accusing the DOJ of trying to spin its contents and protect Donald Trump
House Democrats exploded in anger Wednesday over Attorney General William Barr’s plans to roll out special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, accusing the Justice Department of trying to spin the report’s contents and protect President Donald Trump.
“Why is William Barr holding a press conference if not to try and frame the Special Counsel’s findings,” tweeted Rep. David Cicilline , a member of the House Judiciary Committee. “Just release the full report and let the American people judge for themselves!” Carr, however, said he will be at the presser in his capacity as a member of the DOJ public affairs office, which he recently returned to as the Mueller probe concluded to handle criminal cases.
“I can’t imagine DOJ didn’t brief the White House about the press conference,” said a source familiar with the president’s legal strategy.
