Trump Calls Attorney General William Barr A ‘Big Disappointment’ On Twitter

President Donald Trump called Attorney General William Barr a “big disappointment” on Saturday, following a report in the Wall Street Journal claiming that Barr knew about the Hunter Biden investigation months ago, but had worked to conceal it from the public during the election.

Trump’s declaration added fuel to the fire in an ongoing fight between the two, which started when Barr repeatedly declared that the Department of Justice (DOJ) found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the election, despite allegations made by Trump and his allies.

“A big disappointment,” Trump tweeted.

“Why didn’t Bill Barr reveal the truth to the public, before the election, about Hunter Biden. Joe was lying on the debate stage that nothing was wrong, or going on – Press confirmed. Big disadvantage for Republicans at the polls!” Trump also tweeted about Barr’s decision to keep the Hunter Biden probe private.
