Reports say that Barr knew about the investigation into Hunter Biden and actively worked behind the scenes to stop Americans from knowing the investigation was taking place, The Daily Mail reported.
Bill Barr has known about investigations involving Joe Biden’s son Hunter since at least the spring, according to a report, and did his best to stop the information leaking out before the election.
In news which angered his boss Donald Trump, the attorney general – whose job is already said to be hanging in the balance – acted to stop the investigation being made public, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Justice Department guidelines advise investigators against taking overt actions in a run-up to an election so as not to be seen as affecting the outcome.
The president has railed against Barr on Twitter since it was discovered that Barr hid the investigation that could have changed people’s decision to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden.
“IF Biden gets in, nothing will happen to Hunter or Joe. Barr will do nothing, and the new group of partisan killers coming in will quickly kill it all. Same thing with Durham. We caught them cold, spying, treason & more (the hard part), but ‘Justice’ took too long. Will be DOA!” the president said.
