Trump Attorney General nominee has 20-year friendship with Robert Mueller — and wives do Bible study together
President Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, William Barr, reportedly has been friends with special counsel Robert Mueller for over 20 years.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) spoke to reporters on Wednesday about a meeting he had with Barr.
“I asked Mr. Barr directly, ‘Do you think Bob, Mr. Mueller’s, on a witch hunt?’ He said no. ‘Do you think he would be fair to the president and the country as a whole?’ He said yes,” Graham recalled, according to Bloomberg News.
Graham said that he learned that Mueller and Barr have been friends for decades.
“They’ve been personal friends for over 20 years,” Graham noted, explaining that the two had worked together at the Justice Department. “His opinion of Mr. Mueller is very, very high in terms of ethics and character and professionalism.”
Barr, however, stood behind a controversial memo he wrote last year suggesting that a president should not be accused of obstruction of justice for firing political appointees. Trump is reportedly being investigated for obstruction after he fired former FBI Director James Comey in order to bring an end to the Russia investigation, which is now headed by Mueller.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Trump was aware of the Mueller/Barr friendship prior to the nomination.

This pro-Trump pastor is now praying for impeachment after watching Republicans ‘sell their souls to the devil’
A conservative Florida pastor says he has prayed for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
The outspoken and frequently controversial Rev. O’Neal Dozier voted for Trump in 2016 and thanked God for his victory during a GOP event shortly after the election, but he has turned on the president and the Republican Party, reported the Orlando Sun-Sentinel.
“The Republicans are selling their souls to the devil and disgracing themselves to maintain their seats in Congress,” Dozier wrote in the South Florida Times. "Many of these Republicans are confessed Christians, who are violating the tenets of their religion in the support of President Trump."

OANN anchor goes down in flames for reporting Christopher Columbus saved natives with Christianity
One America News Network anchor Liz Wheeler took on history this week when she suggested that Christopher Columbus actually ended atrocities against Native Americans by bringing Christianity to America.
In a series of eye-popping tweets on Monday, Wheeler decided to celebrate Columbus Day by whitewashing the explorer's legacy.
"Christopher Columbus didn't commit genocide," she wrote. "Within 200 years of Columbus's arrival, 95% of the 20M Native Americans died... from disease. Smallpox, flu, tuberculosis, malaria, plague, measles, cholera."
"Tragic, definitely. But mass murder by Columbus? Not even close," Wheeler added.
