Justice Minister William Barr dismissed all talks about voter fraud in an interview.
Then Donald Trump was furious and called him to his study at the White House.
There, Barr got a real hair dryer during a long meeting, reports ABC News.
Now Trump refuses to say he has confidence in his minister.
On Tuesday, William Barr was interviewed by the AP news agency. He then said that neither the Justice Department nor the FBI had found evidence of voter fraud:
To date, we have not seen any fraud of any magnitude that would have changed the outcome of the elections.
Later Tuesday, William Barr was at the White House for a previously scheduled meeting with Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

When Donald Trump heard that the Attorney General was in the building, he called him into his room. The meeting lasted two and a half hours and ABC News and CNN describe it as a real insult.
Trump is now considering firing William Barr as several of his advisers try to persuade him not to, sources told CNN on Wednesday.
On Thursday, reporters asked Trump if he still had confidence in his minister.
– Ask me in a few weeks. They should investigate all these traps, Trump said.
– He hasn’t done anything. He hasn’t been looking for cheats in Georgia.

Donald Trump’s claims that the elections were rigged lack evidence and have not been supported in any of the court proceedings he has initiated.
As recently as Thursday night, the attacks reached a new level when Trump posted a 46-minute video on social media. He immediately received warning flags from both Twitter and Facebook.
