Former attorney general Bill Barr says Fox News host Maria Bartiromo called him up "screaming" about imaginary voter fraud, according to his account in a new book.
"Betrayal", by ABC's chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl, highlights Bartiromo's damaging role as a promoter of reckless lies about the election.
In the book, which comes out on Tuesday, Karl writes that "Bartiromo had once been a widely respected and trailblazing financial journalist. As a correspondent for CNBC, she was the first television reporter to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Now she had her own show on Fox News and she was using it to boost a series of unfounded allegations designed to overturn a presidential election."
As president, Donald Trump frequently praised Bartiromo and granted her interviews. Karl, co-anchor of ABC's Sunday program "This Week," suggested the book that the TV segments on Bartiromo's Sunday program influenced Trump's anti-democratic crusade.
On Sunday, November 8, 2020, for example, one day after Fox and all the major networks said Joe Biden was president-elect, Bartiromo "used her Sunday show on the network to highlight the most outlandish allegations of election fraud" through an interview with Sidney Powell.
Powell delivered a "fevered rant," Karl wrote, and "Bartiromo didn't express one ounce of skepticism."
"It was all a lie," he wrote, "but Sidney Powell's deranged theories would have never taken hold if there weren't people in positions of power and influence who had promoted them -- people like Maria Bartiromo."
Bartiromo comes up several times in "Betrayal." In mid-November, according to the book, Bartiromo "called Barr to complain that the DOJ hadn't done anything to stop the Democrats from stealing the election."
"She called me up and she was screaming," Barr told Karl on the record. "I yelled back at her. She's lost it."

Good for Maria...if it's true. Given the level of bias in this article, it could just as easily be lies.
There WAS vote fraud, no matter how much the Ministry of Propaganda tries to convince us there was not.
How the hell does he know its imaginary... He didn’t bother to investigate
If you are still referring to Voter fraud as ‘imagined’ you are not a serious news source.
Nuff said.
Stick it up your bagpipes Barr.
If it was I confronting AG Barr, I would be kicking him in the shins and calling him, “a waste of Oxygen and a compromised fool that did not belong in ANY government job!”
Screams don’t work.
1. Honestly, the US Attorneys across the country have not wanted to pursue cases. For example, in Philadelphia, I’m aware of a case of alleged fraud brought to the USA’s office there and the individuals couldn’t even get through the door.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 1, 2020
2. I regret to say is misleading for AG Barr to issue his declaration to the AP as he did since the DOJ has been very passive.https://t.co/Bs1rhEgAQe— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 1, 2020
It will be interesting to see if and how she responds to Karl’s allegations.
Definitely won’t “imagined,” no matter how much the Leftist idiots want to yell conspiracy theories, etc.
Powell and Bartiromo are right, and Barr was in on the Deep State fraud.
You can’t find what you don’t look for.
That was back when Bill Barr had an IMAGINARY job 🤪
As told by Jon Karl?
Well, I don’t beleive anything that dirtbag says.
She still is widely respected by sane Americans.
If even one counted ballot was improper, if even one legitimate ballot was ignored, then there was voter fraud and our civil rights were violated. Period. And.. what’s the count we’re at now?
Nobody ever once made the slightest attempt to show the “recklessness” of the charges. And we all understand the reason for that.
The coup plotters are going to be put on trial. There will commence a military firing squad for most of the leaders.
Barr is going to be one of the first to face the ultimate punishment. They are not going to escape the pain that is coming.
HOW MUCH OF THIS BOOK IS DEVOTED TO HOW THE DOSSIER WAS A COMPLETE LIE AND YET MSM REPORTER AFTER MSM REPOTER RANTED LIKE LUNATICS ABOUT IT FOR YEARS?
Beuler, how many chapters?
Maria tends to talk over guests. She’s a little annoying, but I like her. I’m pretty sure she’s on our side.
