Democratic lawmaker says Barr's reported meeting with Murdoch should be investigated

Rep. Harley Rouda (D-Calif.) suggested Friday that Attorney General William Barr's reported meeting with media giant Rupert Murdoch this week should be investigated by lawmakers.

Murdoch, the chairman of Fox, and Barr met at Murdoch's New York home on Wednesday night, The New York Times reported. It is unclear what the duo discussed, with aides to both men declining to comment to the newspaper earlier this week.

"What the hell is the attorney general of the United States doing meeting with the head of Fox?" Rouda, who sits on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, said during an interview on SiriusXM’s "The Dean Obeidallah Show" on Friday.

"And for what purpose could that possibly be, especially in light of the fact this is happening exactly at the same time the president of the United States is saying Fox News isn’t being kind enough to him?" the Democratic lawmaker added.

Rouda suggested that lawmakers should look into the meeting, adding, "I think it is within our purview because we want to know."

Yes, meeting with the owner of the New York Post is definitely criminal.

It’s within our purview as citizens to know why Obama/Clinton/Rice etc abandoned our ambassador and staffers to Al Qaeda/Libyan Islamic extremists.

Come on Rouda, try to wiggle you sorry cowardly ass out of answering that question.

What a Surprise! NOT! Soon just being a Republican and conservative will be grounds for warrants, confiscation, and mandatory re-education. If Pelousy and the other democRATS creepozoids have their way, everything they do will be behind closed doors, and no Republican and conservative will be allowed, at all. Power and money, money and power, is the beginning and end of everything the Creepozoids do.

Thank God for President Trump.
