Trump accuses Barr of double standard for saying it’s unlikely DOJ will prosecute Obama, Biden.
Attorney General William Barr said he doesn't expect the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into former President Obama or Vice President Biden, despite President Trump's urging.
"I think it's just a continuation of a double standard. I'm surprised by it," Trump said, referring to Barr's remarks. He did, however, stress that he entered the event with restaurant owners around the time Barr was making the statement. VP Joe Biden made remarks, with President Barack Obama by his side, before the signing of the 21st Century Cures Act, in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building of the White House in Washington, DC. on December 13, 2016.Barr emphasized that the Department of Justice would not be "used for partisan political ends" as the nation heads into the November presidential election.
