CNN’s chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin on Friday accused Attorney General William Barr of simply regurgitating Fox News’ talking points in a bid to cast a positive light on President Donald Trump.
Toobin said he was “amazed” by an earlier “astonishing” interview that Barr had given to Fox News in which he defended the probe into the origins of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and Trump’s repeated description of said investigation as a “witch hunt” and “a hoax.”
“It turns out the attorney general is Sean Hannity and Sean Hannity is the attorney general,” Toobin said on Friday’s broadcast of “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer.
Hannity is the host of the widely watched primetime Fox News show “Hannity.” He is a staunch supporter of Trump and last year even controversially joined the president on stage at a rally in Missouri.
“I mean, every talking point from Fox News gets repeated,” Toobin added. “That he has no problem with calling the FBI, which works for him, ‘a hoax’ and ‘a witch hunt’ and Donald Trump co-operated fully even though he didn’t talk to the investigation.”
