  • In 2020, Trump addressed Bill Barr's refusal to back his election fraud.

  • He told Fox News that Barr should get impeached as it would boost his poll ratings.

  • Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election in a recent book written by Barr.

Donald Trump said that he urged Bill Barr to get impeached because it would be good for his ratings.

In an interview on Fox News host Sean Hannity's show Wednesday, Trump addressed Barr's refusal to pursue bogus claims whipped up by the former president and his allies that he had been deprived of victory in the 2020 presidential election as a result of a vast plot by Democrats.

The former president said that his former attorney general did not pursue the claims because he was afraid of being impeached.

We also had a chance, but Bill Barr, the attorney general, didn't want to be impeached.

After the 2020 election, Trump went off the rails, according to a recently published book by Barr.

Get impeached, I said. When I was impeached, I went up in the polls. He was so afraid of being impeached that he refused to do his job, according to Trump.

When Trump tried to get Barr to help him in his bid to overturn the election, he already had been impeached for trying to get Ukraine to help him. According to a Gallup poll, Trump's approval ratings increased from 34% to 42% among independents.

He left office with the lowest poll ratings on record, after attempts to overturn the election led supporters to attack the Capitol.

On December 1 2020 Barr told the Associated Press that the Justice Department had found no evidence of widespread election fraud.

He resigned from his position.
