Attorney General William Barr
On Tuesday, it was reported that special counsel Robert Mueller wrote a letter challenging Attorney General William Barr over his four-page summary of the Russia investigation, claiming he mischaracterized their findings. Democrats believe Barr’s summary was an intentional attempt to protect President Donald Trump from the report’s damaging findings, and many of them are speaking out against Barr.
Upon Tuesday’s revelation, 2020 Democratic nominee Julián Castro has called on Barr to resign, accusing him of “willfully” misleading the nation “to cover up attempted crimes by Donald Trump.”
