Legal experts slammed Attorney General William Barr on Thursday and questioned his allegiance to the American people following his press conference over the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

That’s what Barr’s whole statement was,” Mimi Rocah, a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, wrote on Twitter.
