House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) was asked by reporters on Wednesday if the House was going to try and impeach Attorney General William Barr.
Nadler, who said on Sunday that impeaching Barr would be a “waste of time,” told reporters on Wednesday that House Democrats are now “looking into it.”

Nadler’s apparent change of heart comes after a Judiciary Committee hearing into the DOJ, in which officials testified Barr has engaged in a pattern of political interference into the justice system.
Asked what changed, Nadler says: “I think the weight of the evidence and of what’s happens leads to that conclusion.”
