Washington | More than 1100 former justice department officials have called on US attorney-general William Barr to resign, accusing him of doing Donald Trump’s “bidding” by intervening to reduce the proposed sentence of the president’s longtime friend Roger Stone.
The signatories to the open letter, which condemned Mr Barr for allegedly allowing political appointees to overrule career prosecutors, also urged current justice department employees to report unethical behaviour to the inspector-general or Congress.
