Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that if Attorney General William Barr believes President Donald Trump’s Twitter posts are interfering in investigations, he should heed his advice.

“The president made a great choice when he picked Bill Barr to be the attorney general,” McConnell said on Thursday night following an interview that Barr gave. “I think the president should listen to his advice.”
