Bill Barr says Trump is a ‘deposed king ranting’ after president ‘raised prospect of firing him’

Attorney General Bill Barr has reportedly compared Donald Trump's attacks on him as a “deposed king ranting" after the president apparently raised the possibility of firing him.

On Saturday, the president described his attorney general as a “big disappointment” on Twitter after it emerged that the Department for Justice had begun an investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes as early as 2018 - but did not make existence of the enquiry public until after the election.
