NANCY PELOSI on William Barr: 'He is not the attorney general of Donald Trump. He is the attorney general of the United States. I don't trust Barr, I trust Mueller'
WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday she doesn't trust Attorney General William Barr and suggested his statements alleging President Donald Trump's campaign was spied on undermine Barr's independence as the nation's top law enforcement officer.
"He is not the attorney general of Donald Trump. He is the attorney general of the United States," Pelosi told AP."I don't trust Barr, I trust Mueller." Asked what would satisfy Democrats, Pelosi said:"I'll be satisfied when we have a new president of the United States who is a Democrat." Asked if she still thought Trump was not worth impeachment, Pelosi said to wait and see the full report.
