Former President Donald Trump lashed out at his former attorney general Bill Barr calling him “weak” and “ineffective” for refusing to investigate his false claims of widespread voter fraud.
“Former Attorney General Bill Barr wouldn’t know voter fraud if it was staring him in the face—and it was,” Trump said in a statement.
“The fact is, he was weak, ineffective, and totally scared of being impeached, which the Democrats were constantly threatening to do. They ‘broke’ him,” Trump continued. “He should have acted much faster on the Mueller Report, instead of allowing the fake Russia, Russia, Russia, Hoax to linger for so long, but it was the Election Fraud and Irregularities that he refused to act on because he wanted to save his own hide—and he did. He never got impeached, contempt charges never went forward, and the Democrats were very happy with him—but I wasn’t.”
Barr resigned as attorney general in Dec. 2020. He told NBC News in an interview on Thursday that Trump got angry when he told him that there was no evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.
“I told him that all this stuff was bullshit … about election fraud. And, you know, it was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was,” Barr said. Trump got angry, according to Barr and when he offered to resign, Trump accepted his resignation.
