Democratic Senators called on the DOJ’s inspector general to investigate William Barr’s handling of the Mueller report
In addition to criticizing Barr's summary, the Senators blasted the attorney general for demonstrating a “lack of impartiality” in his press conference April 18, when the Mueller report went public.
Democrats in their letter ask the two offices to review Barr’s decision not to recuse himself from overseeing the Mueller investigation, in light of a 19-page memo he wrote last year, prior to becoming attorney general, that described Mueller’s investigation into possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump as “fatally misconceived.”
