More Than 1,100 Former DOJ Officials Press For Attorney General Barr To Step Down | HuffPost
The officials warned William Barr’s interference in criminal cases for Trump’s personal benefit is behavior one would expect to see in an autocracy.
More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials are calling on Attorney General
William Barr to resign following reports Barr and President
Donald Trump intervened in the criminal prosecution of Trump’s friend
Roger Stone.
In an
open letter released Sunday, the former officials say Barr broke Justice Department rules when he overruled federal prosecutors in Stone’s criminal case, seeking a far more lenient sentence than the potential nine years prosecutors originally recommended.
“It is unheard of for the Department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President,” they said.
In their call for Barr’s resignation, the former Justice Department officials suggested his behavior is a threat to democracy.
