Mitch McConnell told: "The president made a great choice when he picked Bill Barr to be the attorney general,"

Mitch McConnell told Bret Baier that if Attorney General William Barr believes the president's tweeting is getting in the way of Barr's work, Trump should follow the attorney general's cue.

"The president made a great choice when he picked Bill Barr to be the attorney general," McConnell told host Bret Baier. "I think the president should listen to his advice."

Barr told ABC News earlier in the day that Trump is being unhelpful when he tweets about cases like that of Republican political consultant Roger Stone -- in which the president objected to a stiff sentence recommended by the four prosecutors in the case, all of whom have since stepped down.

"I think that if the attorney general says [tweeting] is getting in the way of doing his job, then maybe the president should listen to the attorney general," McConnell repeated when questioned by Baier.

Following McConnell's interview, the White House responded to Barr's critique by saying he has the right to publicly offer his opinion on the president.

In a statement attributed to Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, the White House said Trump has "full faith and confidence" in Barr to do his job and added that the president has used social media effectively to fight for the American people "against injustices in our country including the fake news."

Among the topics they discussed were Barr’s comments today about Trump’s tweeting, impeachment, the War Powers resolution from the Senate today, the Senate refusing to take up the left-wing bills from the House, if he would confirm a potential vacancy on the Supreme Court this year, and Bernie Sanders.

I did like it when McConnell stood his ground on the Senate ignoring all the left-wing bills coming from the House. He did suggest though, in areas where both parties agree, that they would probably be able to legislate a bipartisan infrastructure bill and a prescription drugs bill. As far as the infrastructure bill, he did say it probably wouldn’t be that big though, suggesting common ground isn’t easy to find.

He was also asked by Baier that if a vacancy on the Supreme Court came open, would he hold the seat open like he did in 2016. McConnell responded that given that hypothetical, he would confirm a Supreme Court justice, explaining that in 2020 the Senate is the same party of the White House, which wasn’t the case in 2016.
