Donald Trump mentioned it in his CPAC speech in Dallas, ripping Barr for not investigating claims of voter fraud in the November election.
Trump said he had received a letter from US Attorney McSwain in Pennsylvania, revealing that Barr would not allow him to investigate allegations of voter fraud. “He was not allowed to do his job,” Trump said. Instead, he said Barr ordered McSwain to pass voter fraud investigations to the Democrat AG Shapiro — to cover it up.
