Legal experts have suggested Barr's response has new significance in light of President Donald Trump saying he would take opposition research from a foreign government.

"If a foreign intelligence service, a representative of a foreign government, says we have dirt on your opponent should they say 'I love it, let's meet' or should they contact the FBI?" Coons asked again.

Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti tweeted a video clip of the exchange with the caption:"Notice how long Barr thought before answering this question? He carefully qualified his answer by limiting it to a 'foreign intelligence service.' Had Trump previously discussed with Barr his view that obtaining information from foreign governments is okay?"

Several lawmakers have called for Barr to resign for misleading the public over the findings of Mueller's report on the two-year probe into Russian election interference. More than 1,000 former federal prosecutors, have gone against Barr and signed a petition stating that there is clear evidence Trump obstructed justice.
