William Barr to hold DOJ holiday party at Trump hotel at undisclosed date

Attorney general reschedules Trump hotel holiday party. DOJ won’t disclose the date.

December 9 at 5:20 PM

Attorney General William P. Barr had planned to hold a 200-person holiday party at the Trump hotel in Washington Sunday night, but the event was rescheduled, according to a Justice Department spokeswoman.

The spokeswoman declined to say when the event would take place but said it would still be at the Trump International Hotel, a choice that prompted critics to question Barr’s independence from Trump, who still profits from his business while in office.

Barr has been a key defender of President Trump, including Monday when he criticized an inspector general’s report examining the FBI’s investigation into possible coordination between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. Twice this week, Justice Department attorneys are defending Trump in court against suits claiming the president illegally benefits from his business while in office.

crowd-strike event.

As the property is owned by Americans leased to the President,
what could go wrong?

I remember when this was reported on a couple of months ago. If I remember correctly, Barr is paying $30,000 for this party.
