Democrats renew attacks on Trump attorney general

Democrats ripped into Attorney General William Barr on Friday, signaling he'll be a focal point of their attacks on the Trump administration in the post-Mueller report world.

The Democrats say Barr bungled the handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report and that he has repeatedly sought to protect President Trump, contrasting his comments about what the report said with the actual text that was released on Thursday.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) issued a subpoena on Friday to win the release of the full report, while other Democrats have called for Barr's resignation.

The report is also fueling new talk of impeachment.

“We can't blame Republicans for the lack of an impeachment effort. We control the House,” Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), a longtime advocate for impeaching Trump, said Thursday. “It is up to us to act.”
