House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Attorney General William Barr has 'gone rogue' over how he handled the Ukraine call whistleblower complaint.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that Attorney General William Barr had gone"rogue" because of the way he and the Justice Department handled the whistleblower complaint centered on President Donald Trump's call with Ukraine's president in which he repeatedly urged him to investigate Joe Biden and his son.After first making the comment on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe," Pelosi repeated it to CNN.
The Justice Department has denied that Barr and Trump ever spoke about the Ukraine matter, but Democrats expressed fury over Trump's comments, which suggested the president was prepared to try to task the country's lead law enforcement official with pushing forward an investigation into his political opponent.
A DOJ official said the assistant attorney general for the criminal division made the"final call" to clear the president, and said Barr was"not involved in the analysis by the criminal division." There was no consideration for Barr to formally recuse himself from the matter, the official said, and no consideration of the appointment of a special counsel.
