You would only do this if you hate Trump.\u2019\u201d Per the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mr. Trump then launched into a list of other grievances he had with his attorney general: that the federal prosecutor Mr. Barr ordered to review the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s Russia probe that preceded the Mueller report hadn\u2019t released his findings before the 2020 election, and that Mr. Barr declined to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey after a department watchdog rebuked him for sharing memos that contained sensitive information about his interactions with Mr. Trump, a complaint brought up repeatedly by the president.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Barr claims he offered his resignation at that moment, which the president accepted. \u201cLeave and don\u2019t go back to your office. You are done right now. Go home!\u201d Barr asserts Trump told him.<\/p>\n<p>Barr eventually resigned from his position weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding January 6, the former attorney general said that Trump lost himself after the election and pushed the voter fraud to such an intense degree that it led to the riot on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe absurd lengths to which he took his \u2018stolen election\u2019 claim led to the rioting on Capitol Hill,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Republicans ultimately choose to follow Barr\u2019s advice remains to be seen; for now, the former president enjoys overwhelming support for the 2024 nomination according to various polls.
