Attorney General William Barr on Monday accused Democrats of trying to create a 'public spectacle' by subpoenaing Special Counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress about the Russia investigation
EDGEFIELD, S.C. — Attorney General William Barr on Monday accused Democrats of trying to create a"public spectacle" by subpoenaing Special Counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress about the Russia investigation.
"I'm not sure what purpose is served by dragging him up there and trying to grill him," Barr said."I don't think Mueller should be treated that way or subject himself to that, if he doesn't want to." Democrats have criticized Barr, saying he acts more like the president's personal lawyer than the attorney general.
Barr enthusiastically embraced Trump's political agenda, cast Mueller's report as a vindication for the president and launched an investigation into the origins of the probe — something Trump has repeatedly said should happen.
