Jewish News Syndicate: Jewish pros, cons regarding nomination of William Barr as US attorney general

By Jackson Richman

“As the Senate begins confirmation hearings this week, JDCA has deep concerns with William Barr’s nomination as U.S. attorney general,” the organization told JNS. “Specifically, we are concerned about his lack of transparency with Congress and willingness to adhere to rule of law as it relates to holding President Trump fully accountable for possible violations of the law. The independence of the attorney general and the Department of Justice must be paramount.”
