Contending his "unheard of" move regarding Roger Stone, Donald Trump's convicted friend, over 1,000 former
Justice Department employees called for Attorney General
William Barr to resign because his actions resemble those of "autocracies."The group of former Justice officials were referring to Mr Barr stepping in to overrule prosecutors who decided to suggest a federal judge hand Mr Stone a nine-year sentence for lying to
Congress and obstructing a federal investigation. That came after Mr Trump tweeted that such a sentence would represent a "miscarriage of justice," a rare move by a sitting president to even appear to weigh in on an internal DOJ sentencing debate.
