Sen. Rand Paul critical of President Trump’s nomination of William Barr for AG

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday bashed President Trump’s nomination of William Barr to lead the Justice Department, calling the corporate attorney’s views on surveillance “very, very troubling.” The Republican lawmaker lambasted Barr, who served as attorney general for President George H.W. Bush from 1991 to 1993, as a proponent of expanding the government’s ability to spy on Americans.
