Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) said Monday she will not vote to confirm President Trump's pick for attorney general, William Barr, citing his views on executive power and the special counsel's investigation.

"I have continued to be concerned with Mr. Barr’s very broad view of executive authority, especially given that we are still in the middle of the Mueller investigation," Hassan said on CNN, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller.

"As I listened to his testimony he really wasn’t committing to allowing Mr. Mueller to follow the facts wherever they lead, and he has a very broad view of executive privilege, which makes me believe he is conflicted and compromised here," she continued. "So I won’t be supporting his nomination."
