Former judge Andrew Napolitano said that the attorney general 'was splitting hairs' in trying to explain his previous testimony to Congress.
Fox News’ senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday that he believes Attorney General William Barr “has a problem” and “probably misled” the House of Representatives in previous testimony.
Attorney General William Barr testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1 in Washington, D.C. Win McNamee/Getty Images The New York Times and The Washington Post reported on Tuesday evening that Mueller had objected to the manner in which Barr released the findings of his 22-month probe. The special counsel, days after submitting his findings to the Justice Department, had called on the attorney general to publicly release his team's summaries as soon as possible. Barr instead released the report nearly a month later.
“He misled the American people with his inaccurate summary of Mueller’s report. Then he misled the Congress when he denied knowledge of Mueller’s concerns. How can he be trusted to impartially administer justice?” Schiff asked.
