A group of former Justice Department (DOJ) employees are calling on the DOJ internal watchdog to launch an investigation into Attorney General William Barr’s role in the clearing of protesters at Lafayette Square near the White House.
Some 1,260 former prosecutors and department officials have penned an open letter on Wednesday to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz expressing concern over the Justice Department’s role in dispersing a group who were protesting for change in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
