In Another Swipe At Trump, AG Barr Won't Investigate Hunter Biden Or Voter Fraud

Description

Outgoing US Attorney General Bill Barr most likely infuriated President Donald Trump even more on Monday. That's when he said he wouldn't be appointing special counsels to investigate either President-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden or election fraud Business Insider reports Trump has reportedly pushed for conservative attorney Sidney Powell as a special prosecutor to investigate the matter. Powell was kicked off Trump's legal team after promoting a number of fringe conspiracy theories about election fraud. Barr's announcement signals another significant break with the president, who continues to insist the election was somehow stolen from him. If I thought a special counsel at this stage was the right tool and was appropriate, I would name one. But I haven't, and I'm not going to. US Attorney General William Barr

  • Source: AG Barr Unfazed By 'Deposed King's Rantings'

    Once William Barr stated the DOJ had found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the general election, he fell from President Donald Trump's grace. According to Business Insider, Trump is itching to fire Attorney General Barr and reportedly held a meeting to discuss firing him.

  • AG Barr Won't Back Trump's Accusation That DOJ, FBI 'Know' Of Widespread Voter Fraud

    US President Donald Trump continues to falsely insist that the election was stolen from him. However, his campaign has lost more than two dozen lawsuits seeking to contest the results and halt ballot counting and certification. According to Business Insider, he's also lost two recounts in Georgia and in Wisconsin. Recently, Trump accused the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation of failing to help him uncover systemic voter fraud. But Attorney General Bill Barr begged to differ with Trump on Tuesday, claiming the DOJ and FBI have no evidence of substantial fraud in the 2020 election. Barr's break with Trump is particularly notable given that he has been in lockstep with Trump's narrative for months. Barr pushed a baseless theory that expanding mail voting would lead to foreign countries flooding American voters with counterfeit mail ballots.

  • AG Barr Told DOJ To Keep Mum On Hunter Biden Probes Before Election

    US Attorney General William Barr did not want the Department of Justice to reveal it was investigating Hunter Biden before the 2020 presidential election. According to Business Insider, Barr went to great lengths to prevent prosecutors and senior DOJ officials from disclosing it was probing Hunter Biden's taxes. There were at least two separate investigations into Biden's finances, one in the Delaware US attorney's office and another in the Manhattan US attorney's office. The latter initially started off as a money-laundering probe but has since fizzled out because of a lack of evidence. The revelation by the Wall Street Journal adds to a growing list of frustrations President Donald Trump has with Barr. In fact, it may be the final straw for Trump, who may fire the attorney general weeks before leaving office.

  • JPMorgan: Trump's Refusal To Concede Could Trigger 'American Horror Story'

    The Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the election results are widely seen by Wall Street as a desperate sideshow destined to fail. But CNN reports JPMorgan is telling clients, 'Not so fast.' After all, this is 2020. According to CNN, JPMorgan Asset Management's Michael Cembalest says there's still a chance that this process could descend into chaos. The chairman of market and investment strategy warned in a report Wednesday of the "remote risk of an American horror story" and "constitutional mayhem." The Market and Investment Strategy chairman pointed to President Donald Trump's Tuesday night firing of the top US election security official. He also noted Attorney General William Barr's decision to authorize prosecutors to probe alleged voter fraud. Bottom line: a LOT of very unorthodox things have to happen for Trump to be reelected. Even so, I'm not ruling anything out. Michael Cembalest Chairmain, Market and Investment Strategy, JPMorgan Asset Management
