House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff on Wednesday called for William Barr to resign, joining other Hill Democrats who believe the attorney general is biased toward defending the Trump administration and thus can’t fairly carry out his duties.
Some Democrats have pushed for Barr to be impeached if he refuses to leave his job as the top Justice Department official.
Schiff said Congress is “having that conversation” whether impeachment is warranted or if it can “conduct the same oversight through a nonimpeachment process.”
“We could certainly try to remove (Barr) from office, that would face the same difficulty and obstacle as removing the President through an impeachment proceeding.
