He’s been attorney general before — under President George H. W. Bush. And in that position, he once oversaw Robert Mueller, the current special counsel, when he headed up the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.

Trump said Barr was his “first choice from day one” and is respected by both sides of the aisle.

Things you should know about him:

Barr said that not pursuing an investigation of “Uranium One” would be evidence that “the department is abdicating its responsibility.”

Barr also raised concerns about special counsel Mueller’s appointment of prosecutors with a history of donating to Democratic candidates, telling The Washington Post in July 2017 that he “would have liked to see him have more balance on this group.”
