Dems attack Barr's credibility after report of White House briefings on Mueller findings

Democrats are attacking Attorney General William Barr’s credibility after The New York Times reported Wednesday that the Department of Justice has briefed the White House about special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings.

The report, which states that the DOJ has had “numerous conversations” with the White House about Mueller’s report, sparked a wave of outrage from Democrats.

“This is outrageous. The AG is supposed to be an independent beacon of truth and justice,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the chair of the powerful House Oversight and Reform Committee, tweeted in response to the report.

“Instead, Barr is debasing the rule of law, degrading our democratic institutions, and decimating any trust the American people have left in this Administration.”
