President Trump early Tuesday pressured Attorney General William Barr to investigate the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and demanded that information be released before Election Day.
“We have got to get the attorney general to act. He’s got to act and he’s got to act fast," Trump said on “Fox & Friends,” citing a New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Trump called on Barr to “appoint somebody” to handle the matter.
"This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election,” Trump said.
Trump’s remarks represented an extraordinary effort by the president to push a member of his Cabinet to investigate the family of his political opponent, as he explicitly invoked the election as reason to do so. They came after a group of House Republicans asked Barr to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the allegations about Hunter Biden made in the Post last week.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately return a request for comment on Tuesday.

Ol’ Billy is being outed as a swamp creature.
The swamp is indeed vast and powerful.
Based on how quickly and decisively Barr reacts will tell the world if our AG is in the tank or truly a patriot.
Or as carmela fondly says “Trump’s ‘boy’ Barr”. Yes, she actually said that. I guess it would be okay if someone said byeDUHn’s ‘girl’ carmela? No? Weird huh? “Shut up mannnnn!”
Anymore, I don’t trust Barr at all. He is all mouth and no action. Since Durham was appointed by Barr, I have my doubts about him too.
In this bizarre, fuxxd up, very surreal world we are living in right now, it’s absolutely amazing that the President is the only one calling for this. Absolutely surreal!!!
“...will justice be served?”
Who’s definition of Just-Us?
Barr and his DOJ stooges are probably working with Schifft on the Rudy dossier as we speak.
Wray needs to be called before POTUS and asked to explain the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop! If the answer is not acceptable, Wray should be told that he is fired, effective immediately and that his personal belongings from his office will be sent to him. The time for hardball is long overdue!
The media cover-up also necessitates Trump’s insistence.
He is in charge. I wish he would act like it.
Go to the FBI senior staff meeting tomorrow morning.
Are they not going to let him in?
Get the reason for not looking into this first hand from the people who are not looking into it.
If they are not looking into it, order them to. Give them 3 days.
He has never met with a hotel manager over a problem at one of his hotels?
Barr is Sessions II
Certainly Hunter Biden should be investigated so crimes of Joe Biden can be exposed.
But the real target here should be Joe Biden not the son of Trump’s opponent.
Based on how quickly and decisively Barr reacts will tell the world if our AG is in the tank or truly a patriot.
Is there really a question. The constant theme of the day in the District of Corruption is CYA and mine.
“it’s absolutely amazing that the President is the only one calling for this”

Trump has acted alone these 4 years. Where have these Republicans been through the Russia lies, the impeachment set up etc? AWOL. What is amazing is that we still trust them.
They don’t lack spines, they are complicit....swamp.
It is not just Hunter. Joe is the big thief. Read this article to the end.

Agree. Trump needs to summon Barr and remind him that he serves at the President’s pleasure. Either initiate an investigation or have your resignation on my desk within 24 hours.
