I am never going to deny that Russia tried to interfere in 2016, they tried to interfere in 2018. And they're trying to interfere in 2020.

Attorney General Matthew Whitaker

We have to be on guard, at the Department of Justice, especially at the FBI, we had a unique view as to how to interrupt their effort. Justice Department's a counterespionage, counterintelligence, all of the kind of things that you do when other countries are trying to interfere in your domestic elections.

Attorney General Matthew Whitaker

I believe Bill Barr when he says the President tweeting about cases is not helpful for him running the Department of Justice and administering justice, i was lucky that I didn't have the President tweeting about cases, except for the Mueller investigation while I was acting attorney general.
