Summary

Attorney General William Barr is stepping down following criticism from President Trump and his supporters for refusing to back allegations of wide scale election fraud. Barr was also criticized by allies of the President for not revealing that President-elect Joe Biden's son, Hunter, was under investigation by the FBI prior to November's election. Earlier this week on The FOX News Rundown, host Dave Antony spoke to former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty about Barr's departure and what it will mean for the Department of Justice, the Trump campaign's on going election challenges and the Hunter Biden investigation. Our original interview was too long and we could only include a portion of it in the episode that ran earlier this week. On The FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with Jim Trusty and get more of his take on Bill Barr's polarizing tenure at the DOJ and the legal questions that remain regarding the election, Hunter Biden's business dealings and any potential wrong doing related to the Russia probe.
