Rep. Justin Amash, who earlier this month became the first Republican member of Congress to call for President Donald Trumps impeachment, took aim at Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday charging that the nations top law enforcement officer has used his position to sell the president's false narrative to the American people.
In a 25-post Twitter spree, the Michigan lawmaker accused Barr of having deliberately misrepresented the findings of Robert Muellers investigation in a March 24 letter to Congress summarizing the special counsels findings.
Amash wrote online Tuesday that Barrs letter selectively quotes and summarizes points in Muellers report in misleading ways, and asserted that the public and Congress were misled as a result of the attorney generals initial four-page summary.
Amash admonished Barr for not complying with Muellers request articulated in a March 27 letter from the special counsel to the attorney general to release the introductions and executive summaries of Muellers report.
