‘Not Happy’: Trump Won’t Say if He’ll Keep Barr on as Attorney General
‘TOO EARLY’

President Donald Trump on Wednesday declined to answer whether he would keep William Barr on as attorney general for a potential second term, saying only that he is “not happy.” Trump was quoted telling Newsmax, “Can’t comment on that, it’s too early. I’m not happy, with all of the evidence I had, I can tell you that. I am not happy.” The day before, reports emerged of the Justice Department concluding a probe commissioned by Barr into the Obama-era “unmasking” of individuals named in national security documents, a practice Trump and other conservatives painted as a malignant political conspiracy. However, the Justice Department found no evidence of wrongdoing and declined to release its report publicly or file any charges.
