role in his decision to reverse a tougher sentencing recommendation for roger stone. abc's pierre thomas sat down with barr one on one. >> did you talk to the president at all about your decision regarding your recommendations? >> never. >> anybody from the white house call you to try to influence you? >> no. nope. i have not discussed the roger stone case at the white house. >> reporter: on tuesday, justice department prosecutors recommended a seven to nine-year prison sentence for the president's close friend, roger stone. the president furious tweeting, cannot allow this miscarriage of justice. and just hours later, the attorney general officially overruling his own prosecutors to recommend a lighter sentence. barr insisted he made that decision well before the president's tweet telling me trump put him in an impossible position. >> i had made a decision that i thought was fair and reasonable in this particular case. and once the tweet occurred, the question is, well, now what do i do? and do you go forward with what you think is the right decision, or do you pull back because of the tweet? that sort of illustrates how disruptive these tweets can be. >> you're saying you have a problem with the tweets? >> yes. well, i have a problem with some of the -- some of the tweets. to have public statements and tweets made about the department, about people in the department, our men and women here, about cases pending in the department, and about judges before whom we have cases, make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors and the department that we're doing our work with integrity. >> reporter: president trump has publicly raged against the prosecutors in the stone case saying they should apologize. >> they ought to go back to school and learn, because i'll tell you, the way they treated people, nobody should be treated like that. >> reporter: barr tells me he's, quote, happy roger stone was convicted on charges including obstruction of congress and witness tampering. >> mr. barr, the president does not like to be told what to do. he may not like what you're saying. are you prepared for those ramifications? >> of course. but the thing i have most responsibility for are the issues that are brought for me for decision. and i will make those decisions based on what i think is the right thing to do, and i'm not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody. i cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me. >> reporter: the white house spokesman said that president trump is not bothered by barr's comments but says mr. trump has the right to exercise his free speech. the white house says mr. trump has full confidence in barr. but some democrats are skeptical. senator blumenthal tweeting barr is saying translation i'm doing exactly what president trump wants, i just wish he'd stop tweeting about it. pierre thomas, abc news, washington. >> our thanks to pierre there. the attorney general's move to undo his prosecutors' recommendation in the roger stone case has triggered so much blowback that the chief judge of the d.c. district court is now weighing in with a rare statement. he said the judges of this court base their sentencing decisions on careful consideration of the actual record in the case before them. public criticism or pressure is not a factor. >>> president trump is lashing out at former white house chief of staff john kelly after kelly defended the former national security aide who was fired last

exactly what he was trained to do when he raised concerns about the president's phone call to ukraine. >> we teach them, a, don't follow the illegal order. and if you ever get -- given one, you will raise whoever gives it to you, this is an illegal order, then tell your boss. >> the president tweeted kelly is like an ex who misses the action and can't keep his mouth shut. john bolton came to
