President Trump's pick to serve as his next top cop said Tuesday that former Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the right decision when he recused himself from overseeing the Russia probe.
When asked by Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) whether he agreed with Sessions's choice, William Barr said he believes so.
"I'm not sure of all the facts, but I think he probably did the right thing recusing himself," Barr told Graham.
Graham, an ally of Trump's in the upper chamber, agreed.
"I think he did the right thing to recuse himself," Graham replied.
