William Barr - tend not to amenable Trump candidate

confirmed When the U.S. Senate as a justice Minister, William Barr about the Russia decide to study. On the first day of his hearing in the U.S. Senate, he stressed his independence.

By Martin Ganslmeier, ARD-Studio, Washington

Who had feared, U.S. President Donald Trump get with William Barr, a docile Minister of justice to the Cabinet, the special investigator Mueller in the barriers, was able to breathe a sigh of relief after the hearing in the Senate. In his opening statement, the 68-Year-old insured, Trump had demanded of him no assurances. And I've given him no - "except that I the Ministry with professionalism and integrity guide".

Barr, which was already from 1991 to 1993 under George Bush senior's justice Minister, joined the senators to sovereign, and left. He had not ripped to the office, wool is nothing more to be and let anyone put pressure on you:

"I'm not going to do what I consider wrong. And I'm also not force you to do something wrong. And by anyone, whether editorial writers, Congress, or President. I'm going to do what I think is right."

William Barr would be the second Time the U.S. Minister of justice. He had held the office already in the early 1990s.

"the Highest respect for Mueller"

this is Also why it is not going to give a premature end, or an obstacle to the Russia-investigation with him, promised to Barr. It was "essential" that special investigator Robert Mueller can finish its work. He know him for 30 years: "since We are friends. I have the highest respect for him and his outstanding efforts in public office."

And to Ask the senators Barr added that even if the President or leading Republicans have urged will it be Mueller", under my responsibility, allowed to finish his work".

Giuliani objected

Barr disagreed with the assessment of Trumps Prosecutor Rudy Giuliani, according to the results of the Mueller investigation should only be used in an edited version published. The Public have a right, said Barr, to be as transparent as possible and as much as possible about Mueller's investigation results.

unlike his future boss, the US President, believes Barr, "Mueller in a witch-hunt would participate." Also Trumps Anger about Jeff Sessions, Barr does not share. That his predecessor had withdrawn due to bias from the Russia-special investigation, had been correct.

conclusion of the first hearing day: Barr and commanded by a sovereign appearance little attack surfaces, and can expect him, the Senate confirmed as the Minister of justice. Rather, Trump could have a doubt whether Barr will be the desired of him "lawyer of the President".
