Former President Donald Trump called his attorney general Bill Barr “a disappointment in every sense of the word” after a book excerpt said that Barr dismissed his election-fraud claims.
Trump said in a Sunday statement, according to The Hill: “Bill Barr was a disappointment in every sense of the word.”
“Besides which, Barr, who was Attorney General (lawyer) shouldn’t be speaking about the President.”
In his forthcoming book, “Betrayal,” ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl reported that Barr called Trump’s bogus election-fraud claims “bulls—.”
According to the book, Trump was also furious after Barr told the Associated Press that the Justice Department had not found any evidence of widespread voter fraud, and told Barr: “How the f— could you do this to me? Why did you say it?”
Barr resigned as Attorney General in mid-December with a letter that praised Trump.
