Outgoing US Attorney General Bill Barr most likely infuriated President Donald Trump even more on Monday.
That's when he said he wouldn't be appointing special counsels to investigate either President-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden or election fraud Business Insider reports Trump has reportedly pushed for conservative attorney Sidney Powell as a special prosecutor to investigate the matter.
Powell was kicked off Trump's legal team after promoting a number of fringe conspiracy theories about election fraud.
Barr's announcement signals another significant break with the president, who continues to insist the election was somehow stolen from him.
If I thought a special counsel at this stage was the right tool and was appropriate, I would name one.
But I haven't, and I'm not going to.
US Attorney General William Barr
