In 1998, William Barr was 'disturbed' that Attorney General Janet Reno didn't defend Ken Starr from the 'spin control' and 'hatchet jobs.' Two decades later, he's silent as President Trump railed against Robert Mueller's 'witch hunt'
William Barr said in a 1998 interview that he was"disturbed" that Attorney General Janet Reno had not defended independent counsel Ken Starr from"spin control,""hatchet jobs" and"ad hominem attacks."
Two decades later, Barr is now attorney general himself -- and defending another president who has repeatedly blasted a special counsel's investigation of his activities. Barr stayed silent as President Donald Trump railed against special counsel Robert Mueller's"witch hunt." And as Barr released a redacted version of Mueller's report last week, the attorney general offered the best possible portrayal of the unflattering findings about his boss.
