As the House kicks off public impeachment hearings this week, a trio of Democratic senators are refocusing scrutiny on an important player in the Trump administrations Ukraine drama: Attorney General William Barr.
On Tuesday, the DemocratsSens. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)sent a letter to the Department of Justices Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, asking him to investigate whether Barr was pushed by President Trump or anyone in the White House to open investigations into U.S. political figures like the Bidens.
The request has its roots in Barrs appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee in May, when Barr proved unable to answer a question from Harris about whether Trump or another White House official ever directly asked or suggested that he investigate anyone. The exchange, which came during Barrs first testimony following the release of the Mueller report, spread on liberal corners of social media due to Barrs non-committal answers.
I dont know, Barr ultimately said, after parsing the wording of Harris question.
