(John Ransom, Headline USA) As the wheels are coming off the Biden bus and reports are flying that Hunter Biden will be indicted over tax fraud, former Attorney General Bill Barr, who helped cover up the existence of the Hunter Biden investigation until after the 2020 presidential election, said that Joe Biden lied during the presidential debates about Hunter’s business dealings.
“He’s [Joe Biden] squarely confronted with the laptop, and he suggested that it was Russian disinformation and pointed to the letter written by some intelligence people that was baseless — which he knew was a lie,” Barr told Fox News.
🚨BILL BARR:
“Joe Biden knew the laptop was real. I was disturbed that Joe Biden would stand up and lie to the American people when confronted about it in the debates. The Intelligence letter was a baseless. Joe Biden knew it was a lie. This is INTERFERENCE in the election” pic.twitter.com/doOFbOaJtd

And Barr also knew it was a lie at the time, which begs the question: Why did Barr remain silent as the top law enforcement officer in the country? Especially as over four dozen former and current intelligence officials went on the record supporting Biden’s lie publicly at the time.
The New York Post has reported that of the 51 officials who signed a letter supporting Biden’s lie that it was Russian disinformation, only five have chosen to continue to stand by that statement now that the truth has been outed.
For Barr it’s just another case of trying to walk back criticism that he is leveled at his former chief, Donald Trump, after the two separated over the issue of voter fraud in the 2020 election and the J6 protests.
In the book Barr published in the wake of the Trump presidency, Barr called the Jan. 6 melee an attempt by Trump to “intimidate Congress,” according to the New York Post.
But Barr is still saying that he is willing to back Trump again if Trump wins the 2024 nomination.
“I believe that the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party,” said Barr, according to Politico.
