Storm builds around Barr over dropping of Flynn case [View all]

Democrats and other critics are seizing on the Department of Justice's (DOJ) decision to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn, arguing it shows how heavily politicized it has become under Attorney General William Barr.

Anger over the extraordinary move by Justice to drop charges even after it secured a guilty plea has created a new political storm around Barr, who had previously angered Democrats for his handling of former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

The latest surprise move approved by Barr makes him even more of a political lightning rod figure in Washington.

"Attorney General Barr's politicization of justice knows no bounds," Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement Thursday evening.
