William Barr first took the office of the United States Attorney General in 1991, serving President George H. W. Bush through the end of his term in the White House. Decades later, he would come out of private practice to become the 85th Attorney General, replacing Jeff Sessions. Barr's two stints leading the U.S. Department of Justice have given him a unique point of view on the functioning of the executive branch. As we mark Law Day 2023, Bill Barr joins us to time in government, and the state of our democracy.
