Swalwell: Barr has taken Michael Cohen's job as Trump's fixer

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) said that ever since President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen has gone to prison, Attorney General Bill Barr "has taken the job."

"Unfortunately, Bill Barr already had a job - as Attorney General of the United States, our nation's top law enforcement official," Swalwell wrote in a Newsweek op-ed published Monday. "And we must not let him do both jobs at once."

Swalwell's column came a day before Barr was set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. The California congressman is a member of the committee.

Tuesday is the first time Barr will appear before the committee, where Democrats seek to press him on the alleged politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
