President Donald Trump said Monday that Attorney General William Barr had resigned, after the nation’s top law enforcement official refused to back up discredited claims of widespread fraud in the Nov. 3 election and reportedly worked to avoid public disclosure of investigations into President-elect Joe Biden’s son.
Trump said in a tweet that he had “a very nice meeting” with Barr at the White House, adding that “our relationship has been a very good one” and that Barr “has done an outstanding job!”
