Excerpts from article:
...Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy reiterated their support Tuesday for William Barr after the attorney general was heavily criticized over the Justice Department's handling of Roger Stone's criminal case.
...Democrats and outside groups attacked Barr last week after the Justice Department revised a sentencing recommendation for Stone, following a tweet from Trump declaring that the initial sentencing recommendation of seven-to-nine years was "Horrible and very unfair." The Justice Department maintains that the agency planned to adjust Stone's sentencing recommendation before Trump's tweet.
...In an interview with ABC News, Barr defended the integrity of the Justice Department but chastised the president for his tweets - an unusual move for a sitting cabinet official.
