Prosecutors on sentencing recommendations for trump ally roger stone. It was a move that drew cheers from the president but increased worries his improper influence is undermining the rule of law, and apparently trumps critics werent the only ones worried. To have public statements and tweets made about the department, about our people in the department, our men and women here about cases pending in the department and about judges before whom we have cases, make it impossible for me to do my job. I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me. Barrs push back there was unusual. Remember the last attorney general to defend the doj in the face of trumps attacks was Jeff Sessions who was sent to the doghouse and never let out. But there are questions now about whether barrs push back was sincere or all staged in coordination with the white house to quell a possible revolt within the doj.

And moments ago, andy mccabe who is a current contributor here at cnn said this to my colleague briana cubeler. As glad as i am that the Justice Department and the d. C. U. S. Attorneys Office Finally decided to do the right thing to do, it is an absolute disgrace that they took two years and put my family through this experience for two years before they finally drew the obvious conclusion and
An eye toward the coming battles perhaps with democrats on capitol hill. Tonight donald trump talked with fox news host sean hannity about muellers investigation. He called it a scam, said it was led by treasonous people. This was an attempted takeover of our government, of our country, an illegal takeover. And if it were the other way around where i was doing it to president obama or a democrat it would be virtually the maximum sentence that you can find no matter where you look in whatever legal book. House democrats in the meantime are staking out their positions. Three lawmakers are telling nbc news that key oversight committees are exploring Legal Options including but not limited to the possibility of issuing subpoena to special counsel Robert Mueller. That would mean bypassing the attorney general william barr. Earlier today house judiciary chairman jerry nadler of new york said he spoke on the phone with the attorney general about the april 2nd deadline that democrats have set
