William Barr remplacera Jeff Sessions

La nomination de M. Barr est intéressante et il a déjà occupé la fonction dans l'administration de George Buch père. Si ses chances d'être confirmé par le sénat sont bonnes, on ne manquera pas de souligner qu'il a cependant été très critique de l'enquête de Robert Mueller. De façon générale William Barr encourage un pouvoir exécutif fort.

" But parts of his record are likely to be closely scrutinized by Democrats. Mr. Barr has criticized aspects of the Russia investigation, including suggesting that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, hired too many prosecutors who had donated to Democratic campaigns. He also has defended Mr. Trump’s calls for a new criminal investigation into his 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, including over a uranium mining deal the Obama administration approved when she was secretary of state."
