Attorney General William Barr is resigning, confirming speculation that he would leave his top cabinet post amid mounting criticism of his performance from President Trump.
Trump announced the departure in a Monday evening tweet.
“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,” Trump tweeted.
The president added: “Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General. Highly respected Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General. Thank you to all!”
Trump tweeted a copy of Barr’s resignation letter saying he will depart his job on Dec. 23. “I will spend the next week wrapping up a few remaining matters important to the Administration,” Barr wrote, in a letter that largely praised Trump.
“Your record is all the more historic because you accomplished it in the face of relentless, implacable resistance,” Barr wrote to Trump.
A good and honorable man, but was eventually consumed by the power and influence of the swamp. It will devour all, either slowly or rapidly that even think of challenging its power. Although not able to devour President Trump, it was able to cripple and wound him to the point that it has rendered him slightly effective. Had the President had more help from a greater number of republicans, I believe he would have completely defeated and destroyed it. However, it will receive a rebirth and will now live on.
WTF is wrong with Trump praising this back stabbing turd that cost him this election????
Trump should have FIRED HIM long ago.
The only logical answer for me is……. Trump has had enough of all of it and wants OUT without looking like it – and IF that’s the case, he’s not the man that I believed him to be.
He was NO GOOD , nothing but a Spy placed there by Democrats to
Undermine Trump, which, he Did at a vital time dealing with the
Crooked, Illegal Democrat Election 2020 for Biden !!!
Trump should have Fired his ass, & really that what the so called
Resignation was, A Forced one !!!
His Dirty ass was FORCED OUT !!! So, the Resignation means FIRED !!!!!
Good for America > See Ya
