Outgoing AG William Barr Refuses Trump's Demand He Seize Voting Machines
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outgoing Attorney General William Barr split with the president again on
Monday, saying there was no need to appoint a special counsel to look
into alleged voter fraud in the November election or to investigate
Hunter Biden, the son of the president-elect. Barr also dismissed
Trump's proposal for the Department of Homeland Security to seize voting
machines. Barr made the comments in his final press conference as
attorney general.
