US Attorney General William Barr thought about leaving office before the end of the presidency Donald Trump . This became known The New York Times from sources.
According to one of the newspaper’s sources, Barr may announce his retirement before the end of the year. However, it is not clear what exactly influenced the pondering of this possibility. It is noted that the reason may be both Trump’s refusal to admit defeat in the presidential election, and Barr’s words that US Department of Justice did not detect massive election fraud.
At the same time, another source said that Barr was considering the possibility of leaving last week, and Trump did not influence this decision. Another source believes that the Prosecutor General has done all the work that he planned for Justice Ministry .
William Barr has served as US Attorney General since February 2019.
