“Mueller’s letter shows that Attorney General Barr has always been the chief propagandist for President Trump. His four-page letter totally misled Congress and the public,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen on Twitter. “He should resign immediately.”

Calls for Attorney General William Barr’s resignation resounded Tuesday evening after The Washington Post reported on a letter written by special counsel Robert Mueller saying he disagreed with Barr’s handling of his report.

Congressman and 2020 candidate Eric Swalwell said that Barr should face impeachment if he does not testify in front of Congress about the report.

On April 10, nearly two weeks after the letter was sent, Barr testified before Senate and was asked by Van Hollen “Did Bob Mueller support your conclusion?” Barr responded “I don’t know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion.” “Attorney General Barr also should not have withheld this letter from Congress for as long as he has. I have demanded a copy from the Department of Justice. I have asked that it be delivered no later than 10:00 tomorrow morning.”

Democrats blast Attorney General William Barr, calling him Trump’s ‘paid federal public defender’In scheduled back-to-back congressional hearings this week, Democrats will have their first chance to grill Barr since he stood at the Justice Department podium and repeatedly declared that Mueller had found no “collusion” between Trump and Russia. Barr has not withdrawn, but aides said he might not attend because the panel’s leadership wants to allow committee lawyers to do some of the questioning, rather than just lawmakers. Barr and Rosenstein lost all credibility after putting that 4 page memo out. Many people say...Barr is reviewing the GOP handbook 'How To Lie To Congress For Dummies' before showing up.
