Despite Donald Trump’s refusal to concede and accept defeat, his days in the White House Oval Office remain numbered. Another one of Trump’s allies has spoken out against his claims of voter fraud.
During a White House event that was held recently, Trump blasted Attorney General William Barr and his aides for not “looking hard enough” in providing evidence of widespread voter fraud. Barr previously refuted Trump’s claims, saying that there was no evidence of fraud during the elections. This has further fueled speculations that Trump has lost confidence in his top aide. Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results have been largely unsuccessful and criticized across the board by people from both parties.
Trump was then asked if he would still be confident in Barr. “Ask me that in a number of weeks from now. They should be looking at all this fraud. This is not civil. He thought it was civil. This is not civil. This is criminal stuff,” said the outgoing president. Trump did not respond to questions on what his remaining activities would be before he leaves office in January.
According to an administration official, Trump has not ruled out terminating Barr as he has done with other officials that have spoken out. However, a sudden dismissal was not imminent and it would ultimately be up to Trump to make the decision. People who are aware of the matter have revealed that some officials have urged Trump not to fire Barr and a source expressed skepticism that Trump would actually go through with the dismissal.
As Trump has been laser-focused on overturning election results in his favor, the COVID-19 pandemic in the country has continued to wreak havoc. The outgoing president has stayed silent following the surge of 2,408 deaths from the disease in one day. Just when the death toll from the pandemic hit the record, Trump aired his grievances on the election results in a taped speech. Trump continued to push his widely-refuted allegations of voter fraud and election misconduct and was also focused on awarding a football coach rather than answer questions of the ongoing pandemic that has hit Americans.
