Barr's testimony backfired -- 'now the public case' for Mueller's testimony is greater than ever: CNN host

CNN's John King said Thursday that if Attorney General Bill Barr's testimony to the Senate was an attempt to protect President Donald Trump, it had backfired badly, only strengthening the "public case" for Robert Mueller to testify before Congress. King opened with footage of Barr telling Senator Pat Leahy that special counsel Robert Mueller "never sought" more than Trump's written responses, and then turned back to the panel for a fact check. The question about why the president didn’t get interviewed is probably a better one for Mueller than it is for Barr," replied Michael Bender, White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal. "Barr’s testimony has increased not only Democrats’ desire, but the public case for Mueller to have to answer questions now."
