Subject: Confirming William P. Barr as Attorney General of the United States

Description: This vote confirms William P. Barr as the 85th United States Attorney General. Barr has led a long and distinguished career upholding the rule of law and was previously confirmed unanimously by voice vote as the 77th Attorney General under George H.W. Bush. This confirmation is especially crucial following two years at the Department of Justice when Jeff Sessions recused himself from the partisan attack known as the Mueller investigation which was aimed at removing President Trump from office based on Democrat-funded opposition research abetted by the deep state resistance. ACU believes Barr has consistently demonstrated his commitment to upholding the U.S. Constitution as the nation's chief law enforcement officer and supported this nomination.
