According to the newspaper, William Barr has not yet made his final decision
US Attorney General William Barr is considering leaving his post before the end of the term of current US President Donald Trump in January 2021. The New York Times reported this on Sunday, citing three sources.
According to sources, the Attorney General may leave the Ministry of Justice before the end of 2020, but the newspaper notes that he has not yet made a final decision. One source claims that Barr was considering leaving office some time before he announced that there were no massive fraud in the presidential election.
Representatives of the Ministry of Justice and the White House refused to comment on Barr’s intention.
Earlier Barr admitted that checks carried out by his agency in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation had not yet revealed massive fraud in the United States’ general election in early November. Trump’s campaign headquarters, which insisted otherwise, hastened to question the credibility of the head of DOJ’s words, stressing that no checks were carried out as such.
On Thursday Trump refused to answer the journalists’ question about whether he trusted the United States Secretary of Justice. He also said that he was disappointed with the actions of the DOJ in connection with the investigation into the fraud and violations by the Democratic Party that Trump claimed took place in the presidential election.
