BARR says he doesn't read Trump's tweets.

Yet he asked Trump to stop tweeting about DOJ matters and once said they make it "impossible" for him to do his job.

nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
BARR on his false press statement last month that Berman was stepping down from his post as US attorney in SDNY:

“He may not have known it, but he was stepping down.”
This exchange came during questioning from Rep. Neguse. During the same exchange, Neguse asked Barr about US attorneys he appointed to accept information from Ukraine about Joe Biden.

Neguse asked if Barr would set up a similar intake process for info on Trump.
Barr respond sharply: "Maybe if they had vetted the dossier, maybe we wouldn’t have the Russiagate [scandal]."
NEW: Judiciary Committee Dems used a hearing with BARR to berate the top cabinet official for what they charged was a breakdown in the independence of the justice system, accusing him of corrupting it to benefit President Donald Trump.

Barr responded in kind, accusing Democrats of ignoring violent elements that have glommed onto protests around the country. politico.com/news/2020/07/2…

NEWS: The House intends to quickly revive its legal effort to access President Trump's financial records — and tonight it's asking for the Supreme Court's help to speed things up.

politico.com/news/2020/07/1…
In a filing, House counsel Doug Letter urged the court to shorten the typical timeframe for its rulings to take effect. An "immediate issuance" of judgment would allow the House to quickly revive the issue in the lower courts.

politico.com/news/2020/07/1…
Though the filing doens't say the House is seeking Trump's records before the election, it notes that Congress' session ends on Jan. 3, 2021 and the opportunity to litigate the issue before then is crucial.
