WATCH: Sen. Rand Paul talks William Barr, President Trump's pick for his next Attorney General. Asked by Fox News Channel’s Maria Bartiromo about the likelihood that Barr will be confirmed as attorney general, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said, “Unless there’s something really strange, 100 percent.”“He’s been confirmed three times. He’s been the former attorney general for Bush 41, the deputy attorney general in charge of the criminal division. If Barr is confirmed as attorney general, his position will include oversight of the special counsel probe. King, who caucuses with the Democrats, said that Barr’s confirmation hearings will be “very important” and that protecting the Mueller probe will be “a kind of litmus test” for any attorney general nominee.
