William Barr: US attorney general to leave post by Christmas


US Attorney General William Barr is stepping down before Christmas, President Donald Trump has announced.

Dec. 14 - 
Mr Barr's term was due to end on 20 January, when Mr Trump leaves office.

There had been tension between the two after Mr Barr said there was no widespread evidence of voter fraud in November's election.

He was criticised by Mr Trump for not publicly disclosing that the justice department was investigating Joe Biden's son during the campaign.

Mr Trump tweeted Mr Barr's resignation letter saying: "Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job!"

Mr Barr's letter to the president began by saying he "appreciated the opportunity to update" the president on the Department of Justice's (DOJ) review of voter fraud allegations in the recent election and "how these allegations will continue to be pursued".

He did not give more details about the review, and praised Mr Trump's achievements in office before ending the letter by saying he will depart from his position on 23 December.     source

The cordial tone of Trump’s tweet on Monday afternoon announcing Barr’s exit was in marked contrast to the president’s public scolding of the attorney general in recent weeks. In Trump’s telling, Barr had failed to make public a financial crimes investigation into Joe Biden’s son Hunter that was ongoing before the election and failed to muster the Justice Department in support of Trump’s legal campaign to upend the election results.     continue to read
