Senator Blumenthal really nailed Bill "Cover-up" Barr on numerous points, but the most explosive one was when Barr hemmed and hawwed about whether he had spoke with Donald Trump or anyone else in the White House about the 12 investigations that have not been made public yet.

BARR: I don't recall having any discussion on the investigation.
BLUMENTHAL: Have you had any non-substantive discussions.
BARR: It's possibly that the name of a case was mentioned.
