Graham said that he learned that Mueller and Barr have been friends for decades.
Theyve been personal friends for over 20 years, Graham noted, explaining that the two had worked together at the Justice Department. His opinion of Mr. Mueller is very, very high in terms of ethics and character and professionalism.
Barr, however, stood behind a controversial memo he wrote last year suggesting that a president should not be accused of obstruction of justice for firing political appointees. Trump is reportedly being investigated for obstruction after he fired former FBI Director James Comey in order to bring an end to the Russia investigation, which is now headed by Mueller.
It wasnt immediately clear if Trump was aware of the Mueller/Barr friendship prior to the nomination.
