HARRIS: Attorney General Barr, has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone?

BARR: I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t ...

HARRIS: Yes or no?

BARR: Could you repeat that question?

HARRIS: I will repeat it. Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone? Yes or no, please, sir.

BARR: The president or anybody else?

HARRIS: Seems you'd remember something like that and be able to tell us.

BARR: Yes, but I’m trying to grapple with the word “suggest.” I mean, there have been discussion of, of matters out there that they’ve not asked me open an investigation, but ...

HARRIS: Perhaps they've suggested?

BARR: I don’t know. I wouldn’t say suggest.

HARRIS: Hinted?

BARR: I don't know.

HARRIS: Inferred? You don’t know. Okay.
