Legal Analysis of the Barr Hearing
Jami Floyd, host of WNYC's All Things Considered and legal analyst, breaks down the first Congressional hearing with Attorney General William Barr since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
"The Republicans, starting with Lindsey Graham’s opening statement, have been spending a lot of time — here we go again — on Hillary Clinton’s emails," says @jamifloyd on Barr's testimony. "But of course this is how it all started with the Russian interference into the election."
