CHARLES E. SCHUMER DEMOCRATIC LEADER NEW YORK mnitcd ~tatcs ~cnotc WASHINGTON, DC 20510 May 2, 2019 The Honorable William P. Barr Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Attorney General Barr: Your testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday raised a number of very serious concerns about your understanding of your role in our government, your commitment to the rule of law and your fitness to continue leading the Department of Justice. Among the many disturbing things you said, I was particularly troubled by your statement that if the president feels an investigation "is based on false allegations, the president does not have to sit there constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate that proceeding and not have it be corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused." If this idea is how our nation is governed, we will no longer be the democracy Americans think we are. I understood from the memorandum you sent to Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein in June of 2018 that you subscribe to a philosophy in which the executive is exalted above the other co equal branches of government. But this was the first time I had heard you articulate, as Attorney General, this starkly extremist view. Such a statement, in my view - and I believe most Americans would agree - shows complete disregard for the carefully-designed system of checks and balances the Framers enshrined in our Constitution. If these views are truly your views, you do not deserve to be Attorney General. -

IBRAHIM TURKMEN, et al., Respondents. No. 15-1363 DENNIS HASTY and JAMES SHERMAN, Petitioners, v. IBRAHIM TURKMEN, et al., Respondents. QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the judicially inferred damages remedy under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), should be extended to the novel context of this case, which seeks to hold the former Attorney General, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other senior federal government officials personally liable for policy decisions made about national security and immigration in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. 2. Whether those senior officials are entitled to qualified immunity for their alleged role in the treatment of Respondents, because it was not clearly established that aliens legitimately arrested during the September 11 investigation could not be held in restrictive conditions until the FBI confirmed that they had no connections with terrorism. -
