WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following a meeting with Attorney General nominee William Barr today, Senator Rick Scott announced he will vote to confirm Barr in the U.S. Senate.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I had a great meeting with William Barr today, and I’m proud to support his confirmation as Attorney General. Mr. Barr is undoubtedly qualified and fully committed to fighting for and serving the American people as head of the Department of Justice. I hope the Democrats put their political games aside and allow his confirmation process to quickly move forward. We’ve had enough of their stalling tactics on a variety of issues in recent weeks, and this nomination is too important to delay.”
