'He needs to resign tomorrow': Democrats tell Attorney General William Barr to resign after damning report

"I think that Barr should resign," Rep. Maxine Waters said during an MSNBC interview on Tuesday. "And if he does not resign, he should be facing impeachment proceedings also. He has abdicated on his responsibility. He has lied, he has used the very words coming right out of the president's mouth: 'no collusion.'"

"It is outrageous and he needs to go," Waters added.

"Bill Barr needs to resign," Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of the House Oversight Committee, said on Twitter. "He needs to resign tomorrow. At some point we need to distinguish fact from spin."

"Why would Bill Barr flush his reputation & credibility down the toilet? I don't care," Rep. Ted Lieu said on Twitter. "What we should care about is that he is still in charge of [the Justice Department].

"Bill Barr should resign and then apply to be the next White House press secretary, where he can lie all he wants," Lieu said.

Lieu also said he wants to hold a hearing and interview Mueller. The attorney general is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

"We certainly want to give Bill Barr the opportunity to perjure himself," Lieu said during a CNN interview on Tuesday. "But we're also going to want to hear from Robert Mueller."

"But at this point, based on what I know, Bill Barr needs to resign," he added on CNN. "He took an oath to the Constitution, not to Donald Trump. He is supposed to be America's attorney, not Trump's stooge."

"Clearly Barr has lied to both the House and Senate Committees," Sen. Mazie Hirono said during an MSNBC interview on Tuesday.

"It's a lie, let's call it what it is," she added.

Hirono described Barr's description of Mueller's report as "spin" and accused him of "acting like the president's lawyer."

She also called on the Justice Department's inspector general to investigate whether Barr "misled the public to protect [Trump].

"[Attorney General] Barr clearly and deliberately misled the American people about the results of the Special Counsel's investigation – more than once," Rep. Kathleen Rice tweeted. "He needs to resign or be impeached."

"Attorney General Barr willfully misled the American people to cover up attempted crimes by Donald Trump," Former Housing and Urban Development secretary Julián Castro tweeted. "He should resign his position or face an impeachment inquiry immediately."
