Designated US Attorney General Bill Barr has diametrically opposed President Donald Trump in assessing the investigation into the Russia affair: „The investigation is not a“ witch hunt, „Barr said today to the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington.
In a prepared statement for the hearing, which he had already published yesterday, Barr also argued that the special investigator Robert Mueller can finish his investigation. He considers it „extremely important that the Special Investigator be allowed to complete his investigation“.
Afar, Barr advocated that Mueller’s final report be published. In his view, it was very important that Congress and the public were informed about the results. In his remarks, Barr tried to dispel the worries of the opposition Democrats by strangling the Mueller investigation on behalf of Trump.
