“Really, as I say, making the case for the president. I suspect that Democrats’ heads on Capitol Hill were exploding,' Chris Wallace said.
Fox News host Chris Wallace suggested Thursday that Attorney General William Barr was “acting as counselor for the defense” of President Donald Trump during Barr's press conference in advance of his release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's full report on Russian meddling in U.S. elections.
“I suspect that the president was pretty pleased with the performance of Bill Barr and particularly on the issue of obstruction,” Wallace continued. He also pointed out that Barr had repeatedly reiterated there was “no collusion,” echoing the language Trump and his supporters have used to defend against the allegations of conspiring with Russia since the probe was launched.
Wallace was referring to Barr's statement during the press conference in which the attorney general said it was"important to bear in mind the context" when considering incidents where the president could have arguably obstructed justice. “Attorney General Barr’s regrettably partisan handling of the Mueller report, including his slanted March 24th summary letter, his irresponsible testimony before Congress last week, and his indefensible plan to spin the report in a press conference later this morning—hours before he allows the public or Congress to see it—have resulted in a crisis of confidence in his independence and impartiality," Pelosi and Schumer said in the statement.
