Democratic White House hopefuls on Wednesday called for Attorney General William Barr to resign

, saying he had lost credibility with the American people over his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“I think he’s lost the confidence of the American people. I think he should,” former Vice President Joe Biden responded Wednesday evening in Iowa when a reporter asked him whether Barr should resign."AG Barr is a disgrace, and his alarming efforts to suppress the Mueller report show that he's not a credible head of federal law enforcement. He should resign — and based on the actual facts in the Mueller report, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against the President.

Several Democratic presidential contenders peppered Barr with questions about the Mueller report Wednesday when he testified before a Senate panel. Democrats say he misled Americans when he issued a four-page summary of Mueller's report before releasing the full document, and they say he should have recused himself from the investigation because he wrote a memo a year ago calling the Mueller probe "fatally misconceived.

Sen. Kamala Harris told a group of reporters after she questioned him at the hearing that Barr "lacks all credibility." The attorney general said during questioning by Harris that he opted not to charge President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice after reviewing Mueller's report but without digging into all of the evidence Mueller collected, which he said was in keeping with Justice Department practices.

"No prosecutor worth her salt would make a decision about whether the president of the United States was involved in an obstruction of justice without reviewing the evidence.
