President Trump Announces AG Barr Is “Leaving” Before Christmas; Deputy AG Will Take Over
Trending Politics reports:
Just moments ago, President Donald Trump announced that Attorney General Bill Barr would be “leaving” effective “just before Christmas.”
“Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family,” the president tweeted.

“Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General,” he continued. “Highly respected Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General. Thank you to all!”
The announcement comes at a very odd time considering President Trump is continuing to fight against the 2020 election results as well as the news that Barr allegedly knew about the criminal investigations surrounding Hunter Biden months ago but decided to stay quiet.
The move by President Trump raises the question: What does he have planned for the next month?
