(Washington, DC) — William Barr is America’s new attorney general. Barr, who previously headed the Justice Department under President George H.W. Bush, was sworn in today shortly after being confirmed by the Senate. President Trump picked Barr to replace fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Republicans called the 68-year-old corporate lawyer eminently qualified for the post. Many Democrats are unhappy about Barr’s noncommittal answers on releasing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s [[ MULL-ers ]] final report, once Mueller’s work is finished. As attorney general, Barr will now oversee that investigation.
