The attorney general told the AP that a Park Police tactical commander gave the order for law enforcement to move in, but that he never spoke to that commander. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment. "The Attorney General decided that morning to expand the perimeter and that was a decision made long before the church discussion was ever in consideration. If federal law enforcement was met with resistance by the protesters, crowd control measures should be implemented, Barr had said, according to the official. CNN did not witness any water bottles being thrown at the attorney general.
