Attorney General William Barr drew a line in the sand on Thursday in an interview with ABC News after President Donald Trump repeatedly tweeted about the sentencing of Trump ally Roger Stone. Barr said that he cannot do his job effectively with constant Twitter commentary from the president.
“I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases,” Barr told ABC News. “Public statements and tweets made about the department, about our people in the department, our men and women, about cases pending in the department, and about judges before whom we have cases, make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors in the department that we’re doing our work with integrity.”
