Late today President Trump got a rare public rebuke from an unlikely source, attorney general bill barr, who says the president s tweets attacking career prosecutors make it impossible for him to do his job, this as the president openly feuds with his former chief of staff. Paula reid reports tonight from the white house. Reporter attorney general william barr today fired back at President Trumps attacks on the Justice Department. I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me. Reporter in an interview with abc news, barr singled out the president s tweets, which this week focused on the ongoing federal prosecution of his long time friend roger stone. To have public statements and tweets made about the department make it impossible for me to do my job. Reporter its the first time the attorney general has spoken out against his boss, who critics argue he defends too frequently, but he said hes ready for the blowback. Im not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody, whether its congress, newspaper editorial boards or the president. Im going to do what i think is right. Reporter white house officials appeared to be caught off guard by barrs remarks. Earlier the president unleashed on former chief of staff john kelly who last night criticized mr. Trump for retaliating against former National Security official alexander vindman, who raised concerns about the president s call with the ukrainian president. Reporter the president responded, suggesting that the former marine corps general was in over his head as chief of staff, but amid all of these public feuds, the president is welcoming back one of his most trusted advisers.

Donald, where i come from, we measure your height from your neck up. Reporter the two men have run in the same circles for years. Michael bloomberg even appeared on mr. Trumps reality tv show, the celebrity apprentice. A great mayor. Reporter mr. Trump is now targeting bloomberg because hes rising in the polls and vowing to spend his billions of dollars to stop the president s reelection, but bloomberg is facing scrutiny for supporting policies that disproportionately targeted minorities. He has apologized. Its not the way i think. Reporter the president claims he would easily defeat his fellow new yorker. Frankly, i would rather run against bloomberg than bernie sanders. Reporter of course, before taking on the president , Michael Bloomberg has to defeat his fellow democrats, who are accusing him of trying to buy the election. Thanks to a change in party rules, he might face them on a debate stage as soon as next month, perhaps on the cbs debate stage in South Carolina on the 25th. Odonnell looking forward to that.

Reporter today Harvey Weinsteins lead attorney framed the case against her client as a hollywood production. Donna rotunno told the jury of seven men and five women, the irony is that prosecutors are the producers and they are writing a script that reads, the powerful man is so unattractive and large that no woman would ever want to sleep with him voluntarily. Six women testified that weinstein sexually assaulted them. Actress Annabella Sciorra claim he raped her at her new york apartment in the early 90s. But this case is focused on the allegations of two women, a Production Assistant miriam haley, who said weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in 2006 and aspiring actress jessica mann accused weinstein of raping her in a New York Hotel room in march 2013. Weinsteins defense argued the encounters were consensual and that these accusers stayed in contact with him years later, telling the jury, what did jessica do after this . She goes to brunch. Everyone says she looks normal. They argued on the day after the alleged rape mann celebrated weinsteins birthday with him. Tomorrow its the prosecutions turn. They will present their closing argument, and the jury is expected to get the case on tuesday. Norah . Odonnell all right, nikki, thank you. Tonight a former top medical official with the u. S.
