Burn.

Attorney General William Barr had a rather awkward moment after he approached House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) at a Memorial Day event outside the Capitol, shook her hand, and asked her, "Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?"

Barr's question came as Pelosi prepares to schedule the contempt vote against Barr before the full House. According to a bystander who spoke to NBC News, she smiled and gestured in the direction of the House sergeant-at-arms, who makes arrests should the House deem them necessary.


The two shared a laugh over the incident, but observers say it underscores inflamed tensions in Washington, a sign that the Trump administration is making a mockery of Congressional investigations as Democrats weigh impeaching President Donald Trump and continue their probes into Russian interference.

The House Judiciary Committee last week voted to hold Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted report.

Barr did not attend the second day of his hearing before the Committee. His first appearance came less than 24 hours after it emerged that Mueller had pushed Barr twice to release more of his report’s investigative findings, saying Barr’s initial summary “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office’s work and conclusions.” The news sparked outrage among Democrats who’ve accused Barr of misrepresenting the probe’s findings since March 24, when Barr released his summary.

Barr told the committee that Mueller was unhappy with the media coverage surrounding his report, saying that he and Mueller spoke by phone after Mueller submitted his letter. Barr says Mueller was “very clear with me that he was not suggesting that we had misrepresented his report.” These statements have increased public pressure for Democrats to call Mueller in to testify.

The hearing became embroiled in further controversy after Barr maintained that President Trump ordering his associates to lie to the special counsel did not meet the definition of obstruction of justice. Pelosi accused him of lying to Congress.

“What is deadly serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That’s a crime,” she said at the time. “He lied to Congress. And if anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. Nobody is above the law. Not the President of the United States and not the attorney general.”

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
