President Donald Trump's passionate base lashed out at Fox News anchor Chris Wallace for reporting that Attorney General Bill Barr is protecting the president.
“What really comes across to me most of all is that for two years, Donald Trump sat there and said I don't have an attorney general, I don't have somebody out there looking for and protecting my interests. He clearly has that now with Bill Barr," Wallace said on "America's Newsroom."
"Not saying that Barr isn't right in everything he says, but he clearly is protecting this president and advocating his point of view on a lot of these issues," he added.
