Barr's statements, which had become part of the public record, threw cold water on Trump's claims that the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate.
This is killing me. According to the book, Trump told Barr that he was pulling the rug out from under him. You would only do this if you hate Trump.
The former attorney general wrote that he sacrificed a lot personally to come in to help Trump when he thought he was being unfairly treated.

He didn't identify any favored candidates.
In the book, Barr criticizes Trump for his lack of character.
Country and principle took second place, he remarked in the book, recalling his personal revelations about Trump while navigating the last few months in his role.
