NEW: I've been investigating Trump's interference in the investigation into Turkish-owned Halkbank, and my suspicions were just confirmed. Attorney General Barr — at Trump’s request — was trying to orchestrate a sweetheart deal to please President Erdogan.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be free of this president and his maniacal rage that he’s directed at me and my wife,” Mr. McCabe said. For more than two years, Trump “for absolutely no reason whatsoever” has been “lying about us and defaming me and my family.”

Trump is publicly admitting that he is holding Global Entry for New Yorkers hostage in exchange for dropping lawsuits against him and his family’s lawbreaking behavior.
This is corrupt, illegal, and authoritarian.
Hope Collins and Murkowski are proud of their vote.
Forgive me, but Mr. Barr cannot be complaining that he is being bullied by the president.
He happily intervened in cases of interest to the president, to the president's benefit, to the point where prosecutors resigned in protest.
What he feels bullied by is the backlash to it.
For those who were convicted of lying to cover up his crimes, Trump urges lighter sentences and dangles pardons.
He demands his enemies be investigated and prosecuted.
He retaliates against witnesses and public servants.
Republicans’ response?
Silence.
