William Barr: Trump tweets make my job 'impossible'
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the president should listen to Mr Barr's advice.
Stone was convicted in November of obstructing an investigation by the House Intelligence Committee into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The president swiftly voiced his opposition, tweeting:"This is a horrible and very unfair situation." Congratulations to Attorney General Bill Barr for taking charge of a case that was totally out of control and perhaps should not have even been brought. Evidence now clearly shows that the Mueller Scam was improperly brought & tainted. Even Bob Mueller lied to Congress!Mr Barr insisted the president"has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case", but said his tweets about active cases were making it"impossible for me to do my job".
