ATTORNEY GENERAL/DEMS/INVESTIGATIONS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Sen. Kamala Harris Thursday asked Attorney General William Barr to clarify whether President Donald Trump ever pressured Barr to open an investigation into any individual. The letter comes hours after Trump called for former Secretary of State John Kerry to be prosecuted for violating the Logan Act by negotiation with the Iranian government — a charge Kerry immediately denied. Barr waffled last week when Harris asked him at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing if Trump had ever asked him to open an investigation into anyone…It was one of the most contentious and stand out moments from a long day of testimony for Barr on Capitol Hill. Harris called on Barr to resign following the hearing. Harris followed up on that line of questioning on Thursday [5-9-19] by demanding Barr respond definitively to the question.”
