'I have been deeply disappointed by what I've seen,' Chuck Rosenberg said.
A former prosecutor who previously defended President Donald Trump's attorney general, William Barr, said on Wednesday that he was"flat-out wrong" and that he was"deeply disappointed."
"I had said for months that...Barr was a principled institutionalist," said Chuck Rosenberg, who previously served as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia as well as the Southern District of Texas,."I was flat-out wrong," he continued."I had it wrong. I have been deeply disappointed by what I've seen."
Rosenberg said the"first thing" that really"shook" him was when he saw Barr's"mischaracterization" of special counsel Robert Mueller's final report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election."Once that lie is out there, it's really hard for the truth to catch up," said the former prosecutor, who also served in the Obama and Trump administrations as head of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
"We saw that with the Mueller report," Rosenberg said, noting that people"still don't understand" what was found in the investigation. President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr arrive at the East Room of the White House on September 9.
