Barr rejects special counsel in Trump and Biden probes
Attorney General William Barr said no plan exists to name a special counsel for the 2020 election claims or Hunter Biden tax inquiry. He asserted no evidence of wide election fraud, backed the conclusion that Russia conducted the U.S. agency hack, and noted his departure as acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen prepares to take over. He defended resisting White House pressure while highlighting the Pan Am 103 bombing case as part of his tenure.
