More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials are calling on Attorney GeneralWilliam Barrto resign following reports Barr and PresidentDonald Trumpintervened in the criminal prosecution of Trump’s friendRoger Stone.
In their call for Barr’s resignation, the former Justice Department officials suggested his behavior is a threat to democracy.“Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies,” they wrote.
