The attorney general vowed to protect Robert Mueller and uphold the rule of law.

Based on Tuesday’s testimony by William Barr, Donald Trump’s attorney general pick, the president may already regret the nomination.

Trump has spent nearly two years raging against the Justice Department for allowing special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. But Barr said in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he will protect Mueller’s investigation from political interference. “On my watch, Bob will be allowed to finish his work,” he said.
