At around 6 p.m. Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that Attorney General William Barr will leave office on Dec. 23. In addition, the Justice Department will continue to investigate election fraud.
“Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Barr at the White House. We’ve always had a great relationship and he’s done a great job in the past! According to the letter, Barr will leave before Christmas to spend time with his family.
“Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen is also an outstanding individual and will become acting Attorney general. Richard Donoghue, who is highly respected, will take over as deputy attorney general. Thank you!”
Trump attached barr’s resignation letter in the afternoon. “I appreciate the opportunity this afternoon to update you (the President) on the Justice Department’s latest review of voter fraud allegations in the 2020 election and how the Justice Department is continuing to pursue these allegations,” he wrote in a letter sent to President Trump.
“At a time when the country is so deeply divided, governments at all levels — all institutions acting within their purview — have a responsibility to do everything they can to ensure the integrity of elections and promote public confidence in the results.”
Barr said he is honored that Trump has asked him to serve the American people again as attorney General. At the same time, he is proud to play a role in trump’s many successes and unprecedented achievements for Americans during his presidency.
“Your [president’s] record is the most historic because you have achieved it in the face of relentless, hostile resistance. In your 2016 victory speech, you reached out to your opponent to work together for the good of The American people, but you were immediately attacked by a partisan onslaught — random, insulting, and deceptive — that was totally out of line. If you don’t sort them out in time, the direction of this Russia-Gate movement is a mad and groundless effort to tear your government apart.” Barr said.
