The White House has responded to the criticism that Trump received from Attorney General Barr over this tweets about the DOJ:
NEW: White House press sec. Stephanie Grisham says Pres. Trump "wasn’t bothered" by Attorney General Bill Barr's comments to @ABC News. https://t.co/hNJuvIxhJd pic.twitter.com/fVA0n19Tm0

Trump’s response in a nutshell, “meh.”
I do hope he does take them to heart even if his public response doesn’t indicate such. I guess we’ll see in the future.
I am glad he indicated that he has full faith and confidence in Barr. I would hate for him to start criticizing Barr like he did Sessions.
UPDATE: Here’s a longer version of AG Barr’s interview with ABC News:
EXCLUSIVE: Attorney General Bill Barr: If the president "were to say ‘go investigate somebody’…and you sense it’s because they’re a political opponent, then an attorney general shouldn’t carry that out, wouldn’t carry that out." https://t.co/lBtFOWpLkC pic.twitter.com/YcJ0GruGeB
