“Not yet,” Joe Manchin told Newsweek when asked whether he regretted supporting Trump's attorney general nominee. “I’m going to give the man the chance to release that [Mueller] report, let us see everything.”
One of only three Democrats who voted to confirm William Barr as U.S. attorney general now suggests he could soon regret that decision if Barr doesn’t release special counsel Robert Mueller’s full, unredacted report to Congress.
“It makes it a little bit more difficult,” he told Newsweek. “That would be very, very critical on his credibility. I hope he takes that seriously. We’ll wait and see what happens. I’m hoping he does the best thing. I’m always very optimistic and hopeful.” “I think spying did occur,” Barr told members of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. “But the question is whether it was adequately predicated. And I’m not suggesting it wasn’t adequately predicated. But I need to explore that.”
Manchin labeled Barr's currently uncorroborated spying claim “a horrible comment,” but said it wasn’t enough to sway the moderate Democrat regarding his feelings about voting to confirm Barr.
