Attorney General Bill Barr called for Trump to 'stop the tweeting' after the President called prosecutors' proposals on Roger Stone’s sentencing a “miscarriage of justice”
Getty Images: U.S. Attorney General William Barr has spoken out on Donald Trump’s Twitter attacks on prosecutors in the case of his former advisor Roger Stone, saying that he won’t be “bullied,” amid concerns that Trump may have pressured the Justice Department to help out his longtime friend.: “I’m not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody . . . whether it’s Congress, a newspaper editorial board or the president.
Barr’s display of exasperation comes as all four prosecutors in Roger Stone’s case quit on Tuesday, hours after higher-ups at the Justice Department overruled them to seek leniency, instead of the seven- to nine-year sentence that the lawyers were pushing for. Earlier this week, Trump tweeted that the nine-year sentence proposed by prosecutors was “a horrible and very unfair situation.”
