One of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s top prosecutors perceived an “odd moment” between President Trump and Attorney General William Barr during his impeachment victory speech.

Andrew Weissmann, a former Justice Department official who was known as Mueller’s “pit bull” during the Russia investigation, suggested that Barr was out of line for attending the White House event on Thursday. He appeared to reference U.S. Attorney John Durham’s inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation, which is being overseen by Barr.
