Trump demands Barr investigate Hunter Biden

President Trump early Tuesday pressured Attorney General William Barr to investigate the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and demanded that information be released before Election Day.

“We have got to get the attorney general to act. He’s got to act and he’s got to act fast," Trump said on “Fox & Friends,” citing a New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Trump called on Barr to “appoint somebody” to handle the matter.

"This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election,” Trump said.
======================================================================
Trump’s remarks represented an extraordinary effort by the president to push a member of his Cabinet to investigate the family of his political opponent, as he explicitly invoked the election as reason to do so.

Trump is desperate. The New York Post? Give me a break.

As Brian Williams often says, "This must be Tuesday."

Odd that Trump never asks Barr to investigate Don Jr. or Ivanka.

These relatives have been using the country as their piggy bank.

I would be interesting in learning from the conservatives here who claimed that Trump should be able to fire whoever he wants, if they would support his firing Barr because the attorney general is not investigating and releasing all the incriminating information he may have on the president's political opponents.
