Amy Klobuchar, William Barr Confirmation, Obstruction of Justice Inquiry
During Senate confirmation hearings, Senator Amy Klobuchar questioned Attorney General nominee William Barr on whether a president persuading a person to commit perjury constitutes obstruction of justice. Barr agreed that such an act would be a felony for any person. The timing of this questioning, occurring just days before the BuzzFeed report, led to speculation about whether the information had been leaked to members of the Judiciary Committee beforehand.
