WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday defended himself in front of a Democratic-led House of Representative committee, denying accusations that he abused his power to help President Donald Trump's associates and boost Trump's re-election hopes.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler opened the hearing with scathing remarks, telling Barr: "Your tenure is marked by a persistent war against the (Justice) Department’s professional core in an apparent effort to secure favors for the president."
