Ex-Obama Attorney General Eric Holder says William Barr is 'unfit to lead the Justice Department'
Source: USA Today
WASHINGTON – Former Attorney General Eric Holder sharply criticized current Attorney General William Barr for comments he said were "deeply inappropriate for America's chief law enforcement official" and said he was "unfit to lead the Justice Department."
Holder, a Democrat who served as former President Barack Obama's attorney general from 2009 to 2015, said in a Washington Post op-ed published Wednesday night that almost "since the moment he took office," Barr's "words and actions have been fundamentally inconsistent with his duty to the Constitution. Which is why I now fear that his conduct – running political interference for an increasingly lawless president – will wreak lasting damage."
The former attorney general said he was "reluctant to publicly criticize my successors" but "Barr has made a series of public statements and taken actions that are so plainly ideological, so nakedly partisan and so deeply inappropriate for America’s chief law enforcement official that they demand a response from someone who held the same office."
