Three Senate Democrats voted for William Barr to be attorney general. Now at least two of them say they might have made a mistake.
Asked whether he regretted his vote, Jones replied: “I’m getting close to that. I haven’t said that yet. But it sure is so disappointing. I’m getting close. You might want to check tomorrow” after he reviews the hearing.
Sen. Joe Manchin , who also initially supported Barr, said if Mueller’s issues with Barr prove out, “Absolutely, I have buyer’s remorse. I would have made a big mistake.” Manchin said he will lean on Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham to bring Mueller in for a hearing, though Graham has said he has no plans to do so.
“It’s troubling, absolutely. The difference between the interpretation between what Mueller really meant and what he intended. And he thought he didn’t present it properly. And Barr said he basically did represent properly,” Manchin said. “We’ve got to get that cleared up. And I would encourage my friend Lindsey Graham to bring Mueller in as quickly as possible.”
The third Democrat who supported Barr, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, has requested a meeting with Barr about the discrepancies between his view of the special counsel’s report and Mueller’s, an aide said.
