United States Attorney General William Barr has defended the harsh tactics of federal law enforcement against anti-racism protests in US cities and denied accusations he intervened in criminal cases to help President Donald Trump’s allies.
He testified at a congressional committee on Tuesday and faced heavy criticism for sending federal agents into cities to quash protests.
He also faced accusations of politicising the Justice Department.
