Trump calls his former A.G. Bill Barr 'gutless' and 'lazy' after getting his endorsement
Donald Trump recently got the endorsement of his former Attorney General Bill Barr, but that didn't stop the ex-president from lashing out at his own appointee Wednesday evening.
Barr, a lifelong Republican, served as Trump's second attorney general from 2019 to 2020. Barr then resigned over disagreements surrounding the former president's 2020 election interference claims.
But about a week ago, he confirmed he would be voting "for the Republican ticket" despite Trump being the nominee.

Trump raised the issue on Wednesday, but didn't strike a forgiving tone for Barr.
"Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating Voter Fraud in our Country, has just Endorsed me for President despite the fact that I called him 'Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy' (New York Post!)," Trump wrote on Truth Social at around 11:00 P.M. Eastern. "Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted Endorsement, I am removing the word 'Lethargic' from my statement."
The implication, of course, is that Trump is still calling Barr "weak, slow moving, gutless, and lazy."
Trump then added, "Thank you Bill. MAGA2024!"
