I know nothing.
Charles Paine announced it and said something like he should get confirmation since he already has been confirmed IIRC.
OK, my daily update - John Solomon will be breaking more information on Hannity tonight regarding Clinton Foundation & information that Trump has had for over a year. Includes whistleblowers, different than the one whose house was raided.
I would guess that Solomon will post an article soon, as he usually does before his appearance on Hannity.
Here’s an article on Barr, but notice it says this isn’t a fact yet.
“Former Bush Sr. Attorney General William Barr Is Trump’s AG Pick”

Trump’s new top AG pick has urged more Clinton probes and played down both Russia collusion and obstruction
Former attorney general William Barr has emerged as Trump’s top pick to be the nominee for the full-time AG job, The Washington Post is reporting. Picking former president George H.W. Bush’s AG would seem a pretty safe and confirmable pick, on its surface.
But much like Whitaker, Barr’s past commentary has played down the severity of the allegations against Trump — on both the collusion and obstruction-of-justice fronts — and he has also suggested the Clintons should be in more trouble.
In fact, in November 2017, Barr told the New York Times that there was actually more basis to investigate Hillary Clinton for the Uranium One deal than there is to investigate Trump for potential collusion with Russia. He went so far as to say the Justice Department was wrong to give Clinton a pass.
“To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility,” he said.
Earlier that same month, Barr also explicitly called for more investigation of the Clintons, telling The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker and Matt Zapotosky, “I don’t think all this stuff about throwing [Clinton] in jail or jumping to the conclusion that she should be prosecuted is appropriate.” Then he added: “But I do think that there are things that should be investigated that haven’t been investigated.”
In both stories, Barr declined to judge Trump harshly for calling for specific investigations — even ones affecting him and his political opponents, apparently. Barr suggested that was okay for a president as long as the decision was made with respect to the actual evidence at hand and not for political reasons.
