Attorney General William Barr met privately Wednesday night with Rupert Murdoch, the media giant and known confidant of President Trump, at Murdoch’s home in New York, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
It is unclear what the two discussed, as aides of both men declined to speak with the Times.

The personalities on Fox News, one of Murdoch’s multiple media holdings, include multiple staunch supporters of the president, though he has started to object more to the network’s coverage.
On Thursday, Trump attacked Fox News after its latest poll showed that 51 percent of Americans believe that he should be impeached and removed from office.

"Eric Holder met with CNN's Jeff Zucker in his New York home…" is a headline that would've exploded so many Republican heads that the RNC headquarters would've looked like the set of Walking Dead. https://t.co/nBFt404o54

2/ There would be calls for his immediate removal from office. There would be baroque conspiracy theories ascribing a gigantic plot of liberal subversion against the press and inappropriate pressure brought to bear on media outlets.

ICYMI, CNN buried the lead in their story on Parnas & Fruman yesterday. Turns out Rudy's grifters were headed to Vienna to help Hannity interview the corrupt Ukr prosecutor everyone in Europe wanted to fire. Makes Bill Barr's meeting w/Rupert that night far more interesting. https://t.co/8C3MZG3AI5
