William Barr Is Leading Attorney General Candidate

Former attorney general William Barr is President Trump’s leading candidate to be nominated to lead the Justice Department — “a choice that could be made in coming days as the agency presses forward with a probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election,” the Washington Post reports.

“One person familiar with the discussions cautioned that while Barr is the leading candidate, the decision is not final and the president could decide to pick someone else.”
