The Hill reports:
Tucker Carlson brought up former Attorney General William Barr in unusual fashion, raising a report he wrote about the death of Jeffrey Epstein in prison. Carlson questioned why Barr wrote in his biography that Epstein likely killed himself, a nod to conspiracy theories that Epstein was killed in prison.
Trump said he did not know, but he quickly pivoted to attacking his former attorney general over his refusal to indulge Trump’s claims of election fraud in 2020.
“Bill Barr didn’t do an investigation on the election fraud either. He said he did and he pretended he did,” Trump said, claiming Barr was “petrified” of being impeached by the House, which at the time was controlled by Democrats.
Read the full article. On Twitter, the cult lamented that Trump didn’t outright declare that Epstein was murdered.
