Yet Attorney General William Barr fumbled when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) asked him whether Trump had ever suggested he open an investigation on someone.
In one of the most damning and memorable exchanges of William Barrs testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) asked the attorney general whether President Donald Trump has suggested that he investigate anyone. Barr, fumbling over his words, claimed that he did not know.
As it turns out, Trump has publicly called on the Department of Justice, since Barr took control, to open an investigation into his former political opponent Hillary Clinton and also a potential future opponent: former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump suggested to Fox News Sean Hannity last week that Barr should open an investigation into whether Clintons campaign received help from the Ukranian government during the 2016 election based on information allegedly gathered by the top Ukranian prosecutor. The presidents desired investigation could also ensnare Biden through the former vice presidents son Hunter Bidens business with a Ukranian oligarch, according to The New York Times.
