Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Kirsten Gillibrand — all running for president — are calling on Attorney General William Barr to resign.
Democrats have been divided about what exactly to do about the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which puts the onus on Congress to decide whether to impeach President Donald Trump. Most 2020 Democrats would rather defeat Trump than impeach him. So in the meantime, the three senators are joining Democrats’ new strategy: calling for Barr to step aside.
“Barr has shamed the office of attorney general with his partisan approach. I think he should resign,” Warren told Vice News’s Matt Laslo on Wednesday.
Walking out of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where she questioned Barr on Wednesday, Harris had a one-word response when NBC’s Frank Thorp asked her if Barr should resign.
