NYC Bar Urges Congressional Inquiry Into AG Barr’s Conduct
Newsweek reports that the New York City Bar Association has asked congressional leaders to launch a formal inquiry into Attorney General William Barr’s conduct, claiming it threatened the public’s confidence in the “fair and impartial administration of justice.”
“Mr. Barr’s recent actions and statements position the Attorney General and, by extension, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) as political partisans willing to use the levers of government to empower certain groups over others,” the letter to the congressional leaders stated.
The letter to the leaders highlighted four public statements the AG made that the association found troubling.
