Former Attorney General William Barr claims in a new book that he yelled at his boss, then-President Donald Trump over a discussion regarding Hunter Biden shortly before the November 2020 election.
“In his upcoming book, ‘One Damn Thing After Another,’ Barr recalled that in October 2020, Trump called soon after a Newsmax segment on Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Fox News reported Wednesday.
“Reports about the computer revolved around emails that appeared to connect Joe Biden to his son’s business dealings when the elder Biden was vice president,” the report continued.
“You know this stuff from Hunter Biden’s laptop?” Trump asked Barr, the book says.
“Mr. President, I can’t talk about that, and I am not going to,” Barr says he responded “sharply.”
Hunter Biden was reportedly already under federal investigation at the time for various allegations including potential tax issues. Barr wrote in his book that Trump didn’t appreciate his tone.
“You know, if that was one of my kids,” Trump began before Barr cut him off quickly.
“Dammit, Mr. President, I am not going to talk to you about Hunter Biden. Period!” Barr fired back, in a raised voice.
After a brief silence, Trump got off the phone; Barr wrote that his chief of staff, Will Levi, who was in the room during the call, was shocked.
“You yelled at the President?” Levi asked, with Barr nodding in confirmation, the book claims.

Barr is worse than a coward. He is a traitor to this country as are most of the people in DC.
By what Constitutional authority does Barr have the right to do any of that? The Constitutional gives POTUS the authority and obligation of making sure all laws are faithfully executed, not the AG.
President Trump would have been better off appointing nobody. IIRC, No requirement in the Constitution that President has to have a cabinet.
Should have fired everybody possible and send the rest home until people he chose as advisors from HIS list ran things.
Mr. President, I can’t talk about that, and I am not going to,” Barr says he responded “sharply.”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And Barr let the Obama bag man Hunter Biden and the SOROS money laundering operation walk.Millions of influence peddling money avalanched into the personal accounts of Obama and Biden to pay for presidential mansions in Hawaii, Marthas Vinyard, and Delaware as well as other toys.No wonder Putin calls the Ukrainian’s Nazis, Nazi’s created by Obama and Biden, aided by men like Barr.
Barr is an idiot. A man whose idiocy will have him reviled in history.
He doesn’t seem to have done either.
But as AG, Barr doesn’t get to choose who and who not to prosecute among connected persons. Barr played politics here.
Barr’s job was to prosecute.
Barr chose not to do his job;
The verbiage you’ve concocted for Barr is good. Too bad you were not present to advise.
I think there’s a lot of low life types in Washington that couldn’t pass a drug test or get a security clearance.
The entire Biden family should be indicted for felonies... but no!
BARR = FAILURE!!
Barr breached his duty to the President as the “chief executive officer” under the Constitution and his duty to investigate Hunter Biden and the stolen election as the country’s chief legal officer. Just what legal and factual basis did Barr have for failing to act, and what was his reasoning? None, it seems other than personal preference and opinion. What a big, fat weasel.
“ He won’t react. News that is in Trump’s favor is not to be admitted to.”
*************
Barr was a big disappointment. Came in with high expectations but the Swamp Dwellers got to him and shut him down.
Because Barr has a duty to prosecute, not to engage in political discussions. Trump had advisors for the latter, such as Navarro.
If any new intel came up that Trump was privy, but Barr was not, then Trump was to have Barr briefed and Barr in turn had a duty to act.
The main thing for you to learn was Barr was not Trump’s political advisor, he was a Cabinet Officer, approved by the Senate.
That said, Barr had a duty to brief the President on the matter of Hunter Biden which he did not because he thought he could be insubordinate and disrespectful, thereby carrying favor with the Democrats. This is most likely due to the fact that Barr knew Trump was viewed as an outsider and the DC Class had it in for Trump.
Did Barr ever investigate any allegations of fraud or issues of any kind before declaring that there were no problems and Trump lost? I don’t believe he did, nor would he have had time to in the few weeks after the election and his firing. He smears Trump as not having the temperament to lead, yet he is fine with the temperament of Biden, Harris, Obama who was stoned half the time, the Clinton’s, and well, his owners the Bushes. Barr, whose Dad hired Jeffery Epstein who did have a college degree to teach at an elite prep school? Maybe character doesn’t factor into his thinking at all. Not an impressive person.
He also used to NOT pursue unlawful enemies of this country.
It’s hard to imagine there’s any behind-the-scenes kind of good-cop/bad-cop independent/impartial crap between Trump and Barr with respect to the Durham investigation. I see this book as just another piece of dung being piled on to prevent Trump from running again.
And still is part of it. He’s a very low class person. But sadly, I think everyone in Washington is as well.
What a worthless AG. And I thought Sessions was bad.
I agree as is Pence and so many others.
The DC ruling class care only for themselves. The American People mean nothing to them except as a taxable source of revenue, provider of young bodies for military incursions, and occasional election year charm exercises.
Trump didn’t have a choice. McConnell was never going to allow any of Trumps potential choices to receive Senate approval. That is why who never recessed the Senate for 4 years because Trump could have gotten someone he wanted recess appointed. The deep state/McConnell made sure that they had one of their own in every position.
Wonder how much Barrs refusal to investigate Biden’s relationship with Ukraine is affecting policy now.
We still do not know the nature and extent of any investigations. The article states that Biden was under investigation before reports of his laptop. We can go the “prosecute in the media route” or pursue justice, but the former makes the latter well nigh impossible.
