House Democrats are hoping to appoint another special prosecutor to investigate President Trump over the latest riots in Washington.

Congressmen David Cicilline and Bill Pascrell Jr. claimed the police used tear gas to break up what they called peaceful protests. Officials have confirmed no tear gas was used against non-violent protesters.

According to Attorney General William Barr, far-left groups were inciting the violence, which triggered a police response.
“There were projectiles being thrown, and the group was becoming increasingly unruly,” he stated. “They were asked three times if they would move back one block, they refused.”
Democrats have called for Barr to resign as they continue to try and blame President Trump and his administration for the latest tensions.
