In a rare rebuke of the President, AG William Barr told Trump to ‘stop tweeting’ about law cases, saying that his online tweets made it ‘impossible’ to do his job.
‘I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases,’ Barr said the ABC interview.
In the same interview, Barr defended the Justice Departments’ team, after the fallout from the Roger Stone case:
“To have public statements and tweets made about the department, about people in the department, our men and women here, about cases pending in the department and about judges before whom we have cases, make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors in the department that we’re doing our work with integrity,” he said.
