FILE - In this May 15, 2019, file photo, President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr speak at the 38th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Trump is directing the U.S.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that Trump is delegating to Barr the “full and complete authority” to declassify documents relating to the probe, which would ease his efforts to review the sensitive intelligence underpinnings of the investigation. Such an action could create fresh tensions within the FBI and other intelligence agencies, which have historically resisted such demands.
Trump explicitly delegated Barr with declassification power — noting it would not automatically extend to another attorney general — and only for use in the review of the Russia investigation. Before using the new authority, Barr should consult with intelligence officials “to the extent he deems it practicable,” Trump wrote in a memo formalizing the matter.
Wray, though cooperating with Barr in a review of the origins of the Russia probe, would presumably balk at declassifying classified information that could reveal sensitive sources or methods of investigators. “The coverup has entered a new and dangerous phase,” Schiff said in a statement released late Thursday. “This is un-American.”
Thursday’s move further solidifies Barr’s position in Trump’s eyes as a legal warrior on fighting on his behalf.
The press continues to show very little interest in very questionable behavior at the DOJ or the fact that the FBI was never given access to the DNC computers. Most of the articles I read spew bias. What happened to good old fashioned curiosity?
Weaponizing law enforcement and classified information against political enemies is what oppressive regimes do. This is also dangerous.
これまでで最高の大統領。 Kore made de saikō no daitōryō
etuckerAP Ridiculous and dangerous! We know how it started.
LOCK THEM UP, LOCK THEM UP, LOCK THEM UP
Sadly, this is the type of reporting leftist pass onto those who vote democrat, an hope like hell readers are too stupid to research or change the channel to get another perspective or “Truth!” These reporters “are liars!”
Why would he undermine Mueller report? That report exonerates him. Who’s the dumbass and AP news?
Hangs out with Russians. Buddies up with Putin. Asks for help from Russia to find emails. There I fixed it for you dummies. Trump and Russia are the origins of the report. This guy is a fool, a grifter of American tax dollars and a treasonous criminal.
The BIG LIAR is looking for a mistake or loophole! Hope he leads us by mistake to his dirty deeds and secrets!
“Undermine” Bahahahaha Hey AP...how can someone undermine a report that found no evidence against him? Geez, you nuts are bad at journalism....
UNDERMINE?! Are you serious, AP? How about 'uncover the truth behind'? SO CLEARLY BIASED is AP. That's why no one trusts the media anymore. They think we're stupid.
Undermine? If they were legit there is nothing to undermine. If they are dirty they'll be exposed. Your bias is exhausting.
“As he tries to undermine the Mueller report” Activit Press can’t help themselves.
How does this undermine the Mueller Report? The Report stands on it's own. Nothing illegal or improper done by Mueller or his team. Nothing invalidates fact that Trump and his campaign 'colluded' with a foreign power and he/his people violated the law by obstructing justice.
I don't get it. Why should realDonaldTrump challenge it when the liar and deluded extremely stable genius says it exonerates POTUS. I don't get it.
Hopefully Barr will not produce a Redacted report after it is all said and done
FINALLY!!!😅😅😅😂😂😅😅😂😂
Thought we were moving in? derangedonald
Can’t wait to see a ten page list of conspiracy theories with no evidence whatsoever. Why are we still pretending this guy is fit for office?
We live in a terrible world where people think this man is good....or intelligent
I’ve never seen the Dems run out of town as fast as they did today. Mass hysteria! 🤣🎊
The news has such an agenda it’s sick. He’s not trying to undermine the Mueller report it exonerates him that makes no sense at all. He’s trying to figure out how The fbi obtained Fisa warrants with fake information
“as HE tries to undermine the Mueller report”? Is this a joke? Opposite Day again today AP? I’m pretty sure it’s all his opponents who are desperate to undermine the Mueller report.
This is a mess. DEMs investigating Trump....Trump investigating DEMs.
FakeNews
How about the Intelligence Community just says 'NO!' They are not the 'president's' personal investigative services. Do the job the Agencies are meant to do, like PROTECTING the Nation and the World.. And Ignore, Investigate, or Eliminate the buffoon and his minions.
How can you undermine a completed report? A report that Trump supports. Is this labeled as an opinion piece and not news since your opinion is in the tweet?
Did any one read the Mueller report ? Page 109, malware sent to Florida county officials in charge of the election. Just one item of concern....read the rest.
So Trump will obstruct every investigation into his criminality & obstruction of justice but will push investigation of why his Russian collusion investigation started! Watch Trump claim transparency even though he refused to testify & now 100% obstruction of Congress GUILTY
This is what we call 'editorializing'. The reason we generally instruct writers to NOT do this is because people don't want to know your opinion they want to know facts/news. This is why you (deservedly) get called fake news constantly.
Totally cool and totally normal in a functioning democracy.
Why would he want to undermine a report that exonerated him? AP who the heck are your writers? You are so used to putting a negative spin on anything Trump. This one doesnt even make sense!
LOL What if they dig up more on Trump by accident?
AP has become looney liberal liars. what do you mean 'as he tries to undermine the Mueller report'. he's not trying to undermine it, it exonerated him! Also, proving you were setup by a rogue fbi agency is not UNDERMINING anything its proving your innocence! No more AP for me!
Banana republic
Yes, we need to find who leaked that our president was subject to Russian manipulation. And punish all those who discovered that fact.
boom boom boom
Didn't the inspector general already look into this on individual basis?
'continues to try to undermine' pathetic on every level
Hahaha he digs his own grave. No chance this is ever made public because it will bury him. He’ll just have Barr write another memo and hide the report.
You state your opinion as if it were fact. There is nothing to 'undermine' regarding the Mueller report. Mueller found no collusion nor obstruction. Had he found either, be assured he would have gleefully stated so. What fools we've been trusting AP as a news source for so long.
Trump is not trying to undermine the Mueller report. Mueller report is finished and no crime was found. Mueller never investigated the reasons for his job. So now it will be clear, who created hoax. Interesting how AP screws anything and lied to us
Lo and behold! The Daily Dump!
From the Intelligence Community to Trump...
This should be scaring everyone as much as it scares me.
ihatethemedia ...as he tries to undermine the Mueller report? Interesting take.
Oh lawd, please just stop...
Undermine a report that DOESN'T IMPLICATE HIM? FakeNews
Leavenworth awaits lots of room..
capricorn1860 How dumb can you be? To undermine the Mueller report? No because Durham has found substantial evidence of crimes being committed by Comey, Clapper and Brennan during the 2016 election.
“... as he tries to undermine the Mueller report.” Huh?! Bias, much?
'Trump has sought to “investigate the investigators” as he tries to undermine the Mueller report.' Trump doesn't have to undermine the Mueller report - The report speaks for itself. But the Left and their lap-dog media, like the assholes at the , have a narrative to uphold.
Because TraitorTrump doesn't want our 'press' reporting about stuff like this... = Federal court unseals Michael Cohen search warrants, further detailing his Russian ties CNNPolitics
TRIES TO UNDERMINE MUELLER REPORT? Hahaha! How about gets to the real truth?
its about to go down
JxnFreePress Last Memorial Day as a democracy.
Good..looking forward to end this Washington ruckus & bickering once & for all...about time! 🤷🏻♀️ All the back & forth cat fights have been embarrassing & a roadblock to legislate!🤦🏻♀️ Let all the ppl in this country judge for themselves. 👍🔥🔥
Lol
Barr is not trustworthy! Nobody will believe a word he says! Waste of time
figuring out how everything started in the first place doesn’t seem to be popular 🧐
Vengeful, ‘malevolent fool’.
And the shit keep getting thrown. We live in a nation of apes at the top of the political food chain.
The U.S. and British Intelligence Agencies WERE the origin of the Trump-Russia probe, which makes this Barr investigation absurd.
What’s he trying to “achomlish”?
Lol he tries to undermine the report
debmorello Well there will be something new but not enough for impeachment I guess.
Smoke screen by the puppet for the unstable Stable Genus. Anybody notice the absence of mention of obstruction?
Not to undermine, to show the truth.
It's penounced 'oranges'
The origin of the Russia probe, is Russia.
Not undermine the truth with real evidence!
LOL Fuuuuuck you, AP. You are FakeNews and the EnemyOfThePeople Nothing you do will stop what's coming. Your buddies got caught red handed and are now screwed.
My2centz_1
No cover up
GOP POTUS why you allowing Trump to investigate the men and women of the intelligence community? Are you trying to divert attention from Trump’s crimes?
Mueller has to insert himself with the facts to save the United States of America! Now!!!
Hahahaha!!!!
Ah yes, just as the founding fathers envisioned.
Woo! Won't fucking change a single thing.
Why doesn't the media, maddow, etc. Share Barrs connection to Russia?
So much cover up he's releasing it all. Boom
'undermine the Mueller report' What a bunch of effing idiots!
Save the editorial, FraudNews
You clowns! The Muller report said no collusion, no collusion means everything else is irrelevant.
Have a little dignity “as he tries to undermine the Mueller report”. It’s just embarrassing at this point
johnastoehr Hope this encourages IC to take action.
Fully cooperate ... Hypocrite in Chief
Funny how this happened directly after the judges cleared the disclosure of his finances.
Thats called ubstructure and impeacheable impeach Barr too
This is the most biased & POS headline tweet from the 'AP' that I've seen in a long time. Did U just actually say: 'As he tries to undermine the Mueller report?!' The same Mueller Report that concluded: 'NO COLLUSION!' Look, I know people hate Trump, but be fucking objective.
Bush league headline. Can't you people just write what happened without the commentary. Ever wonder why average folks don't trust the media? Here is the answer. Under any objective standard, this headline is not accurate.
Really AP undermined the Mueller report?how about the truth? 🇺🇸✌🏽
This is so biased. This is a left wing media narrative. Everyone should want to know why this happened. AP is propaganda bullshit now.
About time. They are already turning on each other.
The Mueller report undermines itself. Time to expose the real criminals and LockThemAllUp LockHerUp FISAGate ObamaKnew DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica TRUMP2020Landside
Political hacks at the AP may not realize that the Mueller report found no evidence of collusion or obstruction. Trump should investigate how this witch hunt began
Stop consorting with the International Communists Party!
AP Why is he “undermining” the Mueller probe. It’s done.
The demonrats are going down!
This is fear
Nice spin....'Trump has sought to “investigate the investigators” as he tries to undermine the Mueller report.'
He must be almost out of cards to play. The last couple of judicial rulings to expose his finances must really have shaken him. Huh? realDonaldTrump
“as he tries to undermine the Mueller Report”. AP ramping up to full propaganda mode to protect their fellow Democrats. It’s not going to work. At this point, i wonder if AP was complicit. You protest to much.
He's almost gone .Won't be long now.from Clown to senile old dried up old man
Hay democrats your time has come !!! It’s all over
Since “the Mueller report” was silent about the origin story, how do you wacky AP scribes believe this undermines “the Mueller report?” Try journalism for a change, please.
Some delusional people in this thread who believe in Trump’s innocence. Sad.
Trump can't be guilty. He's the great white Messiah
Undermine? Seriously AP? POTUS was undermined by the last administration! Maybe you’ll catch up soon and do your journalistic due diligence!
He’s investigating the investigators because they launched an investigation on false and seemingly criminal pretenses POTUS realDonaldTrump
Maybe they should fully cooperate the way he has with congress. Nah they'll do the right thing because they've got nothing to hide. 7 different countries intelligence warned ours about trump.
Isn’t that what innocent people d...oh wait.
Now we’re going to see a coverup
Fat Don is on the run, knows things are moving fast against him. C'mon SpeakerPelosi et al, get it together and start the process in airing all the dirty laundry you've been given. And get Mueller on the stand.
What type of false flag should we expect to take the heat off of thi
Can we just have the unredacted Mueller report and your taxes?
Full mueller report And released taxes first, and if your still around after that.........
Disbar Barr right after impeaching him along with Trump.
Crazy Town is getting ugly!
I know nothing to see here. Except the inconvenient stuff like lying on the FISA warrants, using other intel in other countries to approach Trump Campaign underlings, whether Obama coordinated the attack, and the insurance policy. And probably 100 other violations.
'Undermine the Mueller report.' You sure know how to twist the truth. He has a right to know who, what, where, when, why they ILLEGALLY SPIED on his campaign and private citizens using phoney evidence that Comey, Hillary Clinton & DNC PAID a FOREIGN British secret agent to fake.
etuckerAP
The AP is obviously a day late and a dollar short. This has nothing to do with Mueller report and more so of the origin of the FISA reports and initial premise for investigations. How can random joes like me out scoop the AP from my phone?
etuckerAP The Lede is ✔️
So much spin in this tweet. Scared much?
Undermine the Mueller Report? Fake flippin news!
“Undermine” the Mueller Report 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Putin wants to know who ratted them out to begin with.
despot 101; weaponize the “police”
He could tell his puppet AG to release the full/not-edited Muller report to prove his innocence.
The report found “NO COLLUSION” what is to undermine apisafraud
If they were really out to get him how come they didn't tell us before the election? 8n stead they killed off Hillary.
Why undermine a report that 'Totally exonerates the president, Thank you!'?
this is misleading and fake news. There is no reason to undermine the Mueller report if you're Trump. It reported what he said all along. Now seeking to investigate whether a coup happened is legit...and we already know what the answer will be. YES!!
That’s quite some spin you put on that AP. Let’s have the truth come out about the investigators and let the chips fall where they may.
Why undermine the Mueller report if it vindicated him? Or did it?
Can we BOLD this text please: Trump has sought to “investigate the investigators” as he tries to undermine the Mueller report.
The Trump Haters have been played by the Lying Liberal Media and the Democrats. The truth is about to hit the fan.
How is he undermining a report that exonerated him? On which planet do you guys live?
What a joke America is now on the world stage new name the united banana republic of America
I thought you were supposed to be news. This is clearly opinion. Awful.
The mainstream media was in on it; declassified documents will show.
The blatant dishonesty and self dealing of your government is disgusting and it’s shocking to me that the so called grand old party not only approves it but provides cover he talks about treason. What is this ? Seriously.
vermontgmg Fodder for Trumpies🤡

Undermine? 😂
No as he exposes the truth about an illegal coup to overthrow a sitting president is revealed to the world. God put Trump there to expose the Obama administration/Hillary crimes against America. paydayishere
Winter is coming.
Deep Dish is about to get served, Chicago Style
But I thought he was totally and completely exonerated by the Mueller Report? 🤔
COVER UP! COVER UP! Oh, wait...
LOL undermine.....is that the word the DNC commands the MSM to use Lapdogs gonna lap.......
