The Wall Street Journal is reporting that William Barr, President Trump’s nominee to be the next attorney general, sent an “unsolicited memo” to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in June criticizing special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing Russia investigation. According to the report, Barr wrote in the memo, “Mueller should not be permitted to demand that the President submit to interrogation about alleged obstruction.” If confirmed, Barr will oversee Mueller’s investigation.
