Multiple members of Congress on Friday sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr demanding that he and and United States Attorney John Durham resign.
The six members of Congress claim the two men "Inappropriately interfered in independent Department of Justice investigations and intentionally used your positions to mislead the American public in defense of President Donald J. Trump."
Their argument focuses solely on the fact that Barr "Handpicked" Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.
"In the report released on on Monday December 9, the OIG concluded that the Justice Department acted within its jurisdiction initiating an investigation and that there was sufficient factual evidence to investigate the Trump campaign," the leader said.
The members of Congress also stated Barr "Manipulate[d] facts to benefit President Trump" before Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report into the Russia investigation.
"Mr. Barr, your course of conduct makes clear your allegiances is to Donald Trump over the Department of Justice and the American people that you serve," the letter said.
"For those reasons, we demand your immediate resignation as Attorney General and that of U.S. attorney Durham," the letter concluded.
