On the same day two current DOJ officials testified alleging politicization of the department, AG Barr sat for an interview on @SenTedCruz's podcast where he was dubbed a 'honey badger' and said he returned to DOJ because he felt Trump "needed an attorney general." 
In the interview, Barr echoed Trump in his criticism of the media -- saying "their purpose seems to be to cripple this administration and drive it from office at any cost."
Citing Twitter's recent flagging of tweets by President Trump, which he and the interviewer described as 'censorship,' Barr pointed to DOJ's antitrust investigations of major tech companies saying he expects to "be making decisions in the next few weeks about actions on that."
Barr was asked about Trump's tweet saying he authorized arrests of people who damage statues -- said while "it's not a change in policy," DOJ is stepping up efforts to protect monuments and is "reviewing videos" to prosecute those who tried to topple the Andrew Jackson statue.
