Barr lied: [View all]
He said that Trump totally cooperated with the Special Counsel.
He said that with a straight face.
In fact, he obstructed the investigation at every turn. Every day, he attacked it as a "witch hunt" and a "hoax". He got extremely angry with Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, rather than protecting him. He fired James Comey and cleaned house at the FBI, firing McCabe one day before his official retirement. He reportedly attempted to fire Mueller himself, thru the WH counsel, Don McGahn.
Not only that, he refused to be interviewed by the Special Counsel. He refused to answer written questions on certain subject matters.
So, Barr began his news conference with a lie. There was little cooperation from the White House.
