  • William Barr, President Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, sat for his confirmation hearing on Tuesday, but Barr wasn’t alone — members of his family, including his grandson, were also present.
  • Liam, Barr’s young grandson spent part of the hearing scribbling notes for his grandpa, including a letter that said “you are doing great.”

It was William Barr’s confirmation hearing, but his grandson, Liam, stole some of the spotlight.

“Think about medical school, Liam,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina quipped. “Somebody needs to make money in the family.”

Later in the hearing, a Reuters photographer caught Liam writing his own notes. On a blank piece of paper, the boy wrote “Dear Grandpa, I love you so much. You are doing great so far, but I know you still will. I am having so much fun. Love, Liam.”

“P.S.,” he added, “I think Rusha’s (sic) people are fine. It is the goverment is the problem.”
