All right, thank you, Anderson.

I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Prime Time.

Just when it looks like the president has trumped our democracy, two slapdowns in one day.

Attorney General Barr with a slap right in Trump's by-hole saying the tweets make it impossible

for him to do his job.

Imagine that.

And the Senate then slaps down the president's ability to use the military eight Republican

senators joining the effort.

We have key players tonight on what happens now.

What do you say?

Let's get after it.

Attorney General Bill Barr is selling the story to the media that reducing the stone sentence

all him.

But he became the first sitting cabinet member to take a whack at the boss in the process.

You have public statements and tweets made about the department, about cases pending in

the department, and about judges before whom we have cases make it impossible for me to

do my job.

And I will make those decisions based on what I think is the right thing to do.

And I'm not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody.

And I said at the time whether it's Congress, newspaper, editorial boards or the president.

Totally.

What a smack.
