Attorney General William Barr will consider legal action to force governors to ease social distancing requirements for their states. “We have to give businesses more freedom to operate in a way that’s reasonably safe,” Barr said. “To the extent that governors don’t and impinge on either civil rights or on the national commerce — our common market that we have here — then we’ll have to address that.” The attorney general agreed with Trump’s call to reopen businesses in the weeks ahead, and which GOP governors have signaled they’re willing to do soon.
