House Intel Chairman RepAdamSchiff says Attorney General Barr should step down. “He should have never been given the job under these circumstances, now he...in the interest of the department should step down, but I have no expectation that he will”
Washington House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff on Wednesday called for William Barr to resign, joining other Hill Democrats who believe the attorney general is biased toward defending the Trump administration.
Barr,"in the interest of the department, should step down, but I have no expectation that he will," Schiff, a California Democrat, told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on"New Day," responding to a question about reports that special counsel Robert Mueller expressed concerns to Barr in a letter that the attorney general's four-page summary to Congress didn't fully capture Mueller's report.
