AG Bill Barr Resigns, Trump Announces New Attorney General

 NewsLA   "President Donald Trump said on Monday that Attorney General William Barr will be leaving his job just before Christmas and Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen will become acting attorney general.

"Barr, in a letter to Trump posted by the Republican president on Twitter, said he would leave his post on Dec. 23." . . .

. . . Trump is beyond angry that Barr has not done anything about voter fraud allegations in the 2020 election. 

"Trump is also said to be upset that Barr knew about Hunter Biden being under investigation and chose not to say anything until after the election.

"Barr claimed that the FBI has followed up on specific complaints of voter fraud yet they have uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome.

“ 'To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.

"The Justice Department came out and clarified Bill Barr’s remarks to the Associated Press.

“ 'Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election,” the DOJ spokesperson said. “That is not what the Associated Press reported nor what the Attorney General stated. The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible' ” . . .
