Top Democrat demands 'immediate explanation' from Barr after Flynn case dropped
By John Kruzel - 05/07/20 04:29 PM EDT


The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee demanded answers from Attorney General William Barr over the Justice Department’s decision to drop criminal charges against President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said the “outrageous” move called for an “immediate explanation.” He added that the House Judiciary Committee, which Nadler chairs, would summon Barr to the Capitol as soon as possible, after a March hearing with the attorney general was postponed due to the pandemic and said later in a statement he would ask the Inspector General to investigate.

“Rest assured, we are going to reschedule that hearing, ASAP, and demand answers!” Nadler said on Twitter.

5. I have it on good authority that this is Barr's response:

Representative Gerald Nadler
House Judidiary Committee Chair
Washington, D.C.

Mr. Chairman:

With regards to your demand for an immediate explanation regarding this Department's decision to withdraw the government's case against General Flynn, my considered response is: Fuck you.

Nasty letter to follow.

Sincerely,

William P. Barr
Attorney General
