William P. Barr is an American attorney who served as the 77th Attorney General of the United States. He was first appointed to the position by President George H.W. Bush and served from 1991 to 1993. Barr was later appointed again by President Donald Trump and served from February 2019 to December 2020.
Barr's tenure as Attorney General was marked by significant events, including his handling of the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and his controversial decision to summarize the Mueller report before it was released to the public. His approach to issues such as law enforcement, executive power, and the justice system garnered both supporters and critics.
Before his terms as Attorney General, Barr held various positions in the government and private sector, including serving as the Deputy Attorney General in the early ’90s and working in executive roles at several corporations. He graduated from Columbia University and earned his law degree from George Washington University Law School.
