“What I am disappointed in now is he's not fulfilled my expectations about being an independent attorney general,” Senator Doug Jones said.
Attorney General William Barr was confirmed by the Senate in February with a vote of 54 to 45, which included the support of three Democrats. Now, less than three months later, Democrats across Capitol Hill are calling for his resignation or impeachment, as well as preparing to hold him in contempt of Congress.
Calls have mounted among Senate and House Democrats for Barr to either resign or be impeached, in large part due to revelations that Mueller was troubled by the way Barr unveiled his 448-page report, urging him twice to immediately release the executive summaries and unredacted report prepared for the public. Barr never released the summaries, instead writing one of his own, and waited nearly a month to release the report.
“I'm not going to go with regret—buyer’s remorse,” he continued. “I probably will not get [to regret] because of the information I had at the time. That's how I have to look at it.” “I voted for AG Barr because I thought—and I still think—he was well qualified,” Manchin told Newsweek. “But I also thought he would be impartial, and I'm concerned about that.”
“This is why this place is so toxic. It is so toxic,” Manchin said of the events unfolding in the House. “Let's get the facts. You're entitled to your own opinions, but it shouldn't stop the whole darn process of government.”
