‘Impossible’ to do my job with prez’s tweets: AG

General William Barr complained about President Trump’s tweeting habits Thursday, saying on national TV that the tweets “make it impossible for me to do my job.”

Barr then quickly doubleddown on his criticism, adding that, as head of the Justice Department, he wouldn’t “be bullied and influenced by anybody” — whether it’s Congress, the media, or the president himself.

“I’m going to do what I think is right,” he said during an interview broadcast Thursday on ABC News. “I cannot do my job here at the department with constant background commentary that undercuts me.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did not hesitate to back Barr, saying on Fox that “maybe the president should listen to the attorney general.”

Barr (inset) leavened his criticism of the notoriously vengeful Trump with the endorsement that the president “has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.”

White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said Thursday that Trump “has full faith and confidence” in Barr to do his job, though if past is any indicator that may not bode well for Barr’s job security. Trump said the same of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions before repeatedly criticizing him in public. Sessions ultimately resigned from the post. The Barr interview on ABC came after several Justice Department prosecutors stepped down in response to their boss showing leniency to Roger Stone, a political adviser and confidant of Trump who was convicted of obstructing a congressional inquiry and lying to investigators.
