The chummy relationship between President Trump and Attorney General William Barr has soured since the nation’s top law enforcement official contradicted the president’s baseless claims about widespread election fraud.
At a White House event on Thursday, Trump complained about Barr, saying “He hasn’t done anything” about voter fraud, NBC News reports.
Trump declined to say whether he still has confidence in his attorney general.
“Ask me that in a number of weeks from now,” Trump said. “They should be looking at all of this fraud. This is not civil. He thought it was civil. This is not civil. This is criminal stuff. This is very bad, criminal stuff.”
Trump has not ruled out firing Barr, sources told NBC News.
Barr told the Associated Press on Tuesday that the DOJ has found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
A few hours later, Trump met with Barr, and the lengthy meeting was “contentious,” CNN reports.
Trump and his lawyers have not shown any evidence of widespread voter fraud or irregularities, but that hasn’t stopped them from claiming the election was stolen from the president.
