Atty. Gen. William P. Barr will not recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel's Russia probe after consulting with senior ethics officials, the Justice Department said.
Atty. Gen. William P. Barr addresses a meeting of the National Assn. of Attorneys General at the White House on March 4.
During his confirmation hearing in January, Barr sought to assuage concerns that he might disrupt or upend Mueller's investigation as it reaches its final stages. Barr also stated without hesitation that it was in the public interest for Mueller to finish his investigation and that he wanted to release as much information as he can about Mueller's investigation to Congress and the public.
"Every American should want a Justice Department guided first and always by the public interest," Comey wrote."Sometimes transparency is not a hard call."
