AG Barr made an unusual call to Trump to give him political advice about how Rudy Giuliani should handle the Russia probe
Attorney General William Barr in April called President Donald Trump and urged him to tell his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to tone it down in TV appearances, according to The Wall Street Journal.
At the time of the phone call, Giuliani was being critical of former White House counsel Don McGahn over his cooperation with the special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators in the probe on Russian election interference. McGahn's name appeared 529 times in the 448-page report on the special counsel's investigation.
Story continuesAlong these lines, Barr in the April phone call asked Trump why Giuliani was on TV attacking McGahn and drawing attention to himself instead of declaring victory and moving on from the Mueller probe, according to The Journal. Barr is explicitly mentioned in the whistleblower complaint but not nearly as many times as Giuliani.
