Another battle between President Trump and a White House official. The latest dust up is with Attorney General William Barr.

“The President has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.” A.G. Barr This doesn’t mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so, I do, but I have so far chosen not to!
