Julián Castro Calls for Barr to Resign or Face Impeachment After Latest Mueller Reporting

By News Here - 00:09

The stunning reports tonight about Robert Mueller taking issue with Bill Barr‘s summary of his final report has already led to one 2020 candidate calling for the AG to resign or face impeachment.

Julián Castro tweeted tonight, “Attorney General Barr willfully misled the American people to cover up attempted crimes by Donald Trump. He should resign his position or face an impeachment inquiry immediately.”

The reporting tonight reveals that Mueller wrote to Barr that his summary letter “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.”

When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr’s letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not, but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said tonight Barr needs to answer for this and Mueller must testify:
