CNN: Trump startled by cozy Barr-Mueller relationship
President Donald Trump was startled Tuesday as he watched television coverage of his nominee for attorney general describing a warm relationship with the special counsel Robert Mueller in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to three people familiar with the matter.
William Barr may have just dropped a couple notches in Donald Trump’s book. Even though the AG candidate says he told the president he was good friends with Robert Mueller, that reality apparently didn’t sink in until Trump saw it on TV.
