Republicans, Democrats React as Bill Barr Resigns: A Five-Alarm Fire
On 12/15/20 at 3:54 AM EST
Republicans and Democrats have responded to Attorney General William Barr s resignation with a mixture of praise, condemnation of his tenure and criticism of President Donald Trump.
The president announced on Twitter on Monday that Barr would be stepping down as head of the Department of Justice before the Christmas holidays. Trump had recently levied criticism of Barr on social media.
Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine called Barr s resignation a five alarm fire. The Democrat said Barr is getting out of the [getaway] vehicle because perhaps he does not want to be part of the next series of wrongful events. I am deeply concerned.
