The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is demanding that Attorney General William Barr explain how the Justice Department is receiving information on Ukraine from President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani
Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York sent a letter to Barr on Monday demanding details on the arrangement Giuliani has with the Justice Department to provide political dirt he's been digging up in Ukraine."As you know, the Department has formal, established channels by which to receive information and begin investigations," wrote Nadler."This new channel to Mr. Giuliani would seem to be a significant departure from those traditional channels.
Nadler noted that Parnas has urged Barr to recuse himself from the case and accused Barr of being"basically on the team." Nadler asked Barr to response to 11 questions about the arrangement and communications with Giuliani."Whether or not you are in league with Mr. Giuliani and his associates, DOJ guidelines and regulations exist to protect you and the Department from even the appearance of a conflict of interest or any impropriety," Nadler wrote.
