Democrats request probe of Barr's remarks on firing of intelligence community IG
By Jordain Carney - 04/17/20 01:57 PM EDT
Democratic Sens. Mark Warner (Va.) and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) are calling on Justice Department watchdogs to investigate Attorney General William Barr's comments about the firing of intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson.
Warner and Feinstein — the top Democrats on the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees, respectively — sent a letter Friday to Jeffrey Ragsdale, acting director of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility, and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz arguing that Barr has "misstated key facts."
"This is a disservice to ICIG Atkinson. It also raises broader questions about whether Attorney General Barr is following Department policies and rules of professional conduct that demand candor and impartiality from lawyers, particularly those who serve the public trust," the senators wrote.
"We request that you investigate whether Attorney General Barr’s statements in matters involving the interests of the President violate applicable Justice Department policies and rules of professional conduct," they added.
Trump shocked Washington earlier this month when he announced he was firing Atkinson, who handled the whistleblower complaint at the center of the House impeachment inquiry. The complaint dealt with Trump's actions on U.S. aid to Ukraine and a request that Kyiv help "look into" Democrats.
The two Democratic senators point to a Fox News interview with Barr earlier this month, when he said Trump "was correct" and "did the right thing" by firing Atkinson.
Barr added during the interview that Atkinson should have sent the whistleblower report to the executive branch before reporting it to Congress.
“He was told this in a letter to the Department of Justice, and he is obliged to follow the interpretation of the Department of Justice, and he ignored it,” Barr said.
How to handle the whistleblower complaint was a point of contention between Atkinson, DOJ and then-acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Joseph Maguire.
Atkinson notified Congress of the existence of the whistleblower complaint, though he declined to discuss details of the complaint during a closed-door briefing last year with House lawmakers.
Atkinson also forwarded the complaint to Maguire, who initially refused to hand it over to Congress, stating that the allegations fell outside the intelligence community's whistleblower statute. The office of the DNI subsequently transmitted a classified version to the congressional Intelligence committees in September.
Feinstein and Warner note in their letter that Atkinson "did not transmit the complaint or reveal its contents to Congress" but notified Congress of a disagreement between himself and Maguire about whether the complaint should be handed over to Congress.
"It was ultimately DNI Maguire, not ICIG Atkinson, who transmitted the complaint to Congress," the senators wrote.
