The resignation of Bill Barr was announced through a post by the still US head of state on the social network Twitter: “Bill will leave [do cargo de Procurador-Geral dos EUA] just before Christmas to spend the holidays with the family ”.
Donald Trump added that Barr will be replaced by Jeff Rosen, “an exceptional person” who was until now deputy attorney general.
Trump’s tweet is accompanied by two scans of a letter in which Bill Barr appreciates the time he was serving the country and presents his resignation.
“As discussed, I will spend the next week finalizing some remaining matters that are important to the Administration and I will leave on December 23,” wrote the fired Attorney General.
The announcement of Barr’s resignation through Trump’s publication came minutes after California attributed the 55 votes for that state to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden, who, with 302 votes so far, has won the election. . presidential elections ratified by the Electoral College of the United States, exceeding the required minimum of 270 votes in 538 to be officially declared President.
Trump’s relationship with Barr cooled down in the past week, after the Attorney General declared on December 1 that the Justice Department had found no evidence of voter fraud that could alter the election results.
Donald Trump, as well as his family, the candidacy and also his supporters, have echoed these unfounded claims since the first projections pointed to Biden’s victory.
Barr’s comments contradicted Trump’s efforts to subvert the election results and block the transition of administrations in the White House.
