Booker: Barr's suggestion of spying on Trump campaign 'eroded' public's trust
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said Attorney General William Barr suggesting President Trump's 2016 campaign was spied on "eroded" the public's trust in Barr's public position.
“For the Attorney General of the United States of America to make such a claim, back it up with no evidence whatsoever, delegitimized his position as an independent, he’s not the president’s attorney general,” Booker, who is running for president, said in a portion of a CBS interview released Sunday.
“I think what he did was unfortunate and eroded even more of the trust the American people should have in their attorney general.”

Barr said during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing earlier this month that he believes spying took place.
