2020 candidates line up to call on Attorney General William Barr to resign after Senate grilling
The candidates included multiple senators who questioned Barr during the hearing, including Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey. Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kirsten Gilibrand of New York, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro made similar calls before or during the hearing.
During his own period of questioning, Booker cast doubt on Barr's objectivity in light of the attorney general's comments -- preceding the redacted Mueller report's release -- that Americans should be"grateful to have confirmed" that the Trump campaign did not cooperate with Russian operatives."I find your choice of words alarming," Booker said."I think it calls into question your objectivity, when you look at the actual context of the report.
