A link to sign a petition apparently led to another 'step' in the process to contribute to the senator's 2020 presidential campaign.
Sen. Cory Booker , who officially announced his 2020 presidential bid early in February, is fundraising off calling for Attorney General William Barr to resign over his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report.
Attorney General Barr answers to the American people—not to President Trump—and over the past 24 hours it’s become clear that he lied to us and mishandled the Mueller Report. He needs to step down. Add your name if you agree: https://t.co/x7KkyROdi5Hours before Booker posted the fundraising effort, he questioned and condemned Barr for “normalizing” President Donald Trump’s behavior during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington D.C. earlier on Wednesday.
The New York Times and the Washington Post on Tuesday reported on the existence of a letter Mueller sent to Barr complaining about his summary of the Russia investigation in late March, saying in it: “The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.
