WASHINGTON — Democrats are splintered by calls to impeach President Trump. But they have found another common enemy and an alternate political foil in Attorney General William Barr.
Calls for Barr’s resignation erupted across the Democratic Party this week after he testified before the Senate and rebuffed the House twice, first by denying Democrats a full, unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, and then by skipping a hearing to review it. In response, Democrats threatened to hold Barr in criminal contempt of Congress – a lengthy legal process that could go on for months.
