LATEST: Attorney General William Barr complained privately 'for weeks' to Pres. Trump about his tweets and public statements related to Justice Department investigations, a person familiar with the matter tells ABC News.
In this May 22, 2019, file photo, President Donald J. Trump and Attorney General William Barr arrive to participate in a Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor presentation ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC.
It's not clear what Trump meant by his remarks. While the DOJ inspector general has found that Comey violated several of the FBI's ethics rules, the U.S. attorney's office in D.C. declined to prosecute him and he has faced no other charges of criminal wrongdoing. Specifically, Barr took issue with Trump's attack on U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, whom Trump attacked over Twitter this week for her handling of the sentencing of Trump's former campaign chairman"If you have a case before a judge to be attacking the judge, you know, it is not helpful or productive at all," Barr told ABC News."And also, you know, I think attacking- for people to attack people here in the department or in the FBI in general terms is unfair.
