President Donald Trump is upset with William Barr after Barr told the Associated Press that the Department of Justice has not uncovered any evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
“He hasn’t done anything, so he hasn’t looked. When he looks, he’ll see the kind of evidence that right now you are seeing in the Georgia Senate. They are going through hearings right now in Georgia, and they are finding tremendous volumes,” Trump said to reporters inside of the Oval Office. “So, they haven’t looked very hard. Which is a disappointment, to be honest with you, because it’s massive fraud.”
“Ask me that in a number of weeks from now. They should be looking at all of this fraud,” Trump said. “This is not civil. He thought it was civil. This is not civil. This is criminal stuff. This is very bad criminal stuff.”
President Trump insists that the elections were rigged but has not provided substantial evidence. Most of the lawsuits he has filed in court have been dismissed or denied. The president still refuses to concede. President Trump’s campaign lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, commented on Barr’s remarks.
“With the greatest respect to the Attorney General, his opinion appears to be without knowledge or investigation of the substantial irregularities and evidence of systemic fraud,” Giuliani and Ellis said.
After the interview, Barr met with White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. According to the Hill, ABC News says that after the meeting with Meadows, Barr had an intense encounter with President Donald Trump.
