President Trump is reportedly considering pressuring the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel in the federal tax probe of President-elect Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
Trump has sought advice from White House counsel Pat Cipollone, White House chief of Staff Mark Meadows and others outside the administration, The Associated Press reported. The reported discussions come after Trump announced Attorney General William Barr’s resignation earlier this week. Trump vocally criticized Barr for not making the investigation into Hunter Biden public before the election.
