Democrats running for their party's presidential nomination in 2020 took aim at AG William Barr and demanded that special counsel Robert Mueller testify on Capitol Hill now that the full -- yet redacted -- version of his report has been publicly released
The consistent call from the 2020 candidates makes clear that Democrats are near unified about the need for more information on Mueller's report -- specifically from the special counsel himself. The same is true for the unanimous view among 2020 Democrats that Barr's prebuttal to the release of the report -- in which the Attorney General sympathized with President Donald Trump and defended him in language the President himself has used -- undercut his impartiality.
"Put another way, the special counsel found no 'collusion' by any Americans in the IRA's illegal activity," Barr said.Those comments quickly enraged Democrats."It's a disgrace to see an Attorney General acting as if he's the personal attorney and publicist for the President of the United States," Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said."We can't trust Trump's handpicked AG to be transparent about the Mueller report.
