Barr submitted his resignation this month while questions about whether Trump would dismiss him circled. On Monday Barr again indicated there was no reason have a special counsel to pursue the unfounded claims of election fraud.
Earlier this election season Trump dismissed Chris Krebs, who was the former election security chief for the Department of Homeland Security, after he concluded that the November general election was the most secure in the country's history. Krebs has since called on Republicans to oppose harassment and threats against election officials who have countered the baseless claims of fraud.
