US Attorney General William Barr says time for President Trump to stop tweeting about prosecutors, judges and jurors
In an ABC interview, Barr, the country's top law-enforcement officer, said US President Trump's critical tweets of those involved in the case of Roger Stone"make it impossible for me to do my job".
Barr spoke after his Justice Department abandoned prosecutors' initial recommendation to give the veteran Republican operative seven to nine years in prison, prompting all four prosecutors to quit the case. "I think if the attorney general says it's getting in the way of doing his job, maybe the president should listen to the attorney general," McConnell told Fox News.
The Republican president called their sentencing recommendation for Stone "horrible" and a "miscarriage of justice". Stone's friendship with Trump dates back decades.
