Former Attorney General William Barr reportedly pushed back strongly on President Trump when discussing claims the president was circulating about the election being "stolen" from him.
Barr, during a meeting with Trump at the White House in early December, told the president that such theories of a stolen election were "bullshit," Axios reported Monday.
Other aides in the room including White House Counsel Pat Cipollone were reportedly surprised that the attorney general had made the comment, though did not disagree with his remarks.
The meeting came as Barr had publicly undercut the president's baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, telling The Associated Press that the Justice Department had not uncovered evidence to back up the claims.
"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election," Barr had told the AP in the interview.
Trump reportedly confronted Barr about his comments while in the private dining room next to the Oval Office.
"Why would you say such a thing? You must hate Trump. There’s no other reason for it. You must hate Trump,” the president asserted while speaking in the third person, according to Axios.
Barr responded that "these things aren't panning out" and "the stuff that these people are filling your ear with just isn’t true," Axios reported. The attorney general reportedly emphasized that the DOJ had reviewed the major claims put forward by the president's lawyers.

Truth obliterates fake news..
Barr showed his Deep State affiliations and muttered this whopper, “the Justice Department had not uncovered evidence.”
They hadn’t even lifted a finger and like so many others had “not uncovered evidence.”
It’s utterly ridiculous.
Would like to see Peter Navarro’s report, the great Pt. III summation be debated with Bill Barr now.
I think Barr who is a smart attorney would get his ass kicked.
Respond to that report Billy Barr!
Bullshit!
Ahhhhh. But you did see fraud.
Do tell, Bill. How much fraud did you find and how can you be sure you found the full extent of it?
Another piece of excrement from “Axios” aka “A$$holes” to add to “The Hill” aka “Pile of $hit”.
About this series: Our reporting is based on multiple interviews with current and former White House, campaign, government and congressional officials as well as direct eyewitnesses and people close to the president. Sources have been granted anonymity to share sensitive observations or details they would not be formally authorized to disclose. President Trump and other officials to whom quotes and actions have been attributed by others were provided the opportunity to confirm, deny or respond to reporting elements prior to publication.
So. All anonymous. This is what passes for reporting anymore. It's... fanfiction. They just make stuff up and if no one like Trump or Barr takes the time to read their nonsense and deny it, it must be true.
Epstein happened on his watch!! Can you ever believe a thing he says? He’s the Winston Wolfe of the Deep State, sent in to professionally clean things up and by all accounts he did a masterful job.
The Barrs are BEST FRIENDS with Bob LIAR MUELLER!!! I had HIGH hopes for Barr....he’s nothing but a SWAMP DEFENDER!
The DOJ is TOTALLY CORRUPT!! AT ALL LEVELS!
The swamp is desperate to legitimize this election and create the illusion that Biden is a duly elected President with the most votes ever.
Forget your lying eyes, the Trump rallies, miles and miles of cars for Trump, thousands of boats in water parades, just to name a few.
BINGO!! he said that Epstein killed himself! WHAT A CORRUPT person.
Here we have the Lenin of the American Soviet. This treacherous, constitution killing, CCP stooge is only perhaps eclipsed by Obama and Soros in responsibility for all of this. May this POS burn in hell.
They are going to have to refute with evidence at some point. Trump should just go ahead and show what happened on election night, the states that stopped counting simultaneously and then came back at the same time with Biden overcoming statistically impossible leads in all of them. I guarantee countries that still do real math with know it.
Stopped reading right there.
Barr’s a proven liar.
Barr is telling the truth. He can say he hadn’t seen fraud because he did not look for it. See how that works. There was not enough fraud to change the election, so why investigate it since if you investigate it you would not find enough fraud to change the outcome of the election.
A word that was never once used by the media during its four years of wall-to-wall coverage of the baseless “Russia Collusion” hoax.
