US President Donald Trump agreed Tuesday with Attorney General William Barr’s claim that his tweeting makes the job of the attorney general more difficult.
“I do make his job harder. I do agree with that. I think that’s true,” Trump told reporters before flying to California.
“I use social media. I guess I use it well because here I am,” Trump said.
“Social media for me has been very important,” the president added. “I’m allowed to have a voice.”
Trump insisted that he still has “total confidence” in Barr, whom he added has “incredible integrity.”
The attorney general expressed frustration last week after Trump complained on Twitter that the prosecutors’ seven-to-nine-year sentencing recommendation for his longtime adviser Roger Stone was a “horrible and very unfair situation.”
