The Justice Department (DOJ) on June 25 said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler’s suggestion that his panel could pursue the impeachment of Attorney General William Barr was a “political thing.”
Nadler (D-N.Y.) suggested on June 24 that his committee “may very well” begin impeachment proceedings against the attorney general following an oversight hearing of the DOJ. The top Democrat, who had threatened Barr with a subpoena, launched an investigation into Barr following accusations that the attorney general was politicizing his department and failing to handle appropriately several investigations related to associates of President Donald Trump.
