President Trump’s nominee for attorney general, William Barr, should be excluded from consideration because of a memo he wrote criticizing the special counsel’s investigation into the Trump campaign, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday.

Schumer said in a statement Thursday that Barr is “fatally conflicted” from overseeing Robert Mueller’s investigation and should not be nominated.
