Newsman: Attorney General William Barr is considering stepping down before January 20, the day President Donald Trump leaves office as the relation between President Trump & Bill Barr got cold on the issue of the ‘widespread election fraud claim’ by the president Trump. CNN news reported the news with the confirmation from the sources with knowledge of the matter. Earlier this week CNN reported that “Trump was frustrated with Barr for saying in an interview that the Justice Department had found no evidence of widespread election fraud. The two men had a “contentious,” lengthy meeting inside the West Wing on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the meeting.”
Referring to allegations against ‘Dominion’ and other voting software used in the 2020 election, Barr told the Associated Press, “There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”
In the latest report by CNN said, “The source confirmed that Barr is not happy with Trump, writing that Barr “is not someone who takes bullying and turns the other cheek!”
“He has not made a final decision,” the source said to CNN.
The New York Times was first to report on Barr’s thinking.
On Thursday, Trump declined to say whether he had confidence in Barr, a sign that the attorney general has fallen out of the President’s favor.
“Ask me that in a number of weeks from now. They should be looking at all of this fraud,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Two White House officials told CNN that while Trump had certainly considered firing Barr, he’s being advised against it by several people.
Barr has faced accusations that he has politicized the Justice Department to defend Trump, by involving himself in the sentencing for Trump’s friend Roger Stone and dropping federal charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
