Trump claims he has 'legal right' to intervene in criminal cases | US news | The Guardian
President reasserts his right to tweet on judicial issues following William Barr’s warning the posts ‘make it impossible for me to do my job’
Donald Trump has ignored a plea from his attorney general, William Barr, to not tweet about ongoing legal cases, by using his Twitter account to say he has a “legal right” to do so.
Barr delivered a remarkable public rebuke of the president just hours earlier, saying that Trump’s tweets “make it impossible for me to do my job” and that he would not be “bullied or influenced” over justice department decisions.
==========================================================
I wonder how many hours Barr has left before he is shown the door.
Trump has never read the Constitution. That's obvious. For him to claim total executive power over all branches of the Government is a lot more than an overreach. It's him thinking he is a king.
